The Verdict
FormCast selectionFree WorldConfidence 4/5Didn't win
Free World is clearly the class horse here on OR (66, well clear of the rest) and his recent form reads 094148 - that 4th and 8th sandwich a recent win, showing he's fit and in form over a stamina test. Williams/Mulrennan is a solid combo and tongue-tie suggests they're trying to sharpen him up for a going attempt. The 2m2f trip on good ground should suit a stayer type by Australia. Main market rival Pfingstberg has a decent recent block (3171) but that 5th last time and lower OR (61) leaves him looking held compared to top-weight. The rest are all rated in the 48-59 range and look to be making up the numbers against the class horse. Free World looks the one to beat on ratings and recent form, and if he's sent off at a sensible price it represents fair value given his rating advantage of 5lb+ over the next best.
