Verdict

S S GUPPY (6) finished third at his last run just a couple of days ago over 1 ¼m at this track, beaten 10 metres. Taking on a better field but he is up to the task. RATTLE MY CAGE (1) finished second here two runs ago before finishing ninth at his latest appearance over 1 ?m at Cambridge Raceway, beaten 25 metres. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Facing a tougher assignment but he is up to the task. BET ON POLLY (7) was responsible for a better effort last time out when runner-up over 1 ¼m at this circuit. Should run a big race. RHAEGAL (2) is worth some thought after his last-start fifth over 1 ¼m at this course on December 9. Include from the low draw.
