Syroco behind from 3 out
This was not a great handicap chase and it went the way of INCORPORATION as he got the better of a three-way scrap. His only previous win came on similar ground, so he obviously handles it, which is more than can be said of some of his rivals. Taking all these things into account the form is unlikely to stand up when it gets quicker again.
Karoo needs a slicker surface, so this was a fair performance, but his only win came in a desperate affair which has not worked out.
Guymur struggled on this ground last time and did so again, although it is fair to say he might have been a bit closer but for being badly squeezed up on the home turn. He is likely to leavethis form behind on a sounder surface.
