Verdict

Three-time point winner WOLF WALKER has shaped well to finish runner-up on both hurdle starts and he can go one better under more testing conditions. Liam Mera Kai has been knocking on the door and may again have to settle second, while fairly useful bumper winner Sinchi Roca could get back on track now sent hurdling.
