Verdict

ABSOLUTELY DYLAN was impressive on chase debut last time and he rates as the type to progress through the handicap system this year. Workbench may have needed the run last time and is expected to do better here while Nightfly has been ultra consistent and shouldn't be far away.
  1. Absolutely Dylan
