Verdict

Tropical Bachelor finished a creditable third over 1m4f at this track on his reappearance with Spartan King and Mecox Bay not far behind. All three have been far from convincing over longer distances, however, and another chance goes to CLOUDY START. Fourth here last time, he scored over C&D before that and Jamie Osborne's charge is preferred to Arashi, who has yet to race over today's trip but has claims if lasting home. Delagoa Bay could prove best of the rest.
