Race Overview
There was not much between ANNABEL'S GHOST (7) and WOOT CITY (2) when they met at this course last month. There should not be much separating them once again, and ANNABEL'S GHOST (7) gets the narrow vote to score. WOOT CITY (2) is the less reliable of the two but would not be a surprise winner. DONE DEAL (6) returns from a break but has a winning chance if fit. MASSIMO MERIDIO (1) has been good again this year and deserves the utmost respect.
Selection:
7 - 2 - 6
