Verdict

ELNAJEEB (3) has gotten better with each career outing and looks to be working up to a maiden victory. This is not an overly strong affair and looks the one they all have to run down. DELICIOUS DEREK (2) is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley and hails from the champion Waller yard. Include in calculations. KING COBAMA (4) resumes here but has tuned up for this with a recent trial and has placed when first-up before. One of the leading hopes. SPOILT ROTTEN (9) has placed two of four over this distance range and will be rock-hard fit for this. In the mix. PEANUTS (6) managed to hit the frame on debut and will have derived a stack of benefit from that day at the races. One for the exotics players.
