Race Verdict
Bennelong drops in class and is capable of winning races off his present mark, but marginal preference is for SPARTAN KING. Representing the in-form Ian Williams, the four-year-old arrives on the back of a creditable second to Delagoa Bay over the extended 1m5f at Wolverhampton. He travelled strongly for a long way there, suggesting a drop back in distance would be right up his street. Dalayir now wears a visor and Shouda was beaten a long way on his reappearance, but both hail from shrewd yards and the market may prove enlightening.
Selection: Spartan King
Danger: Bennelong
Alternative: Shouda
