Only career win was on Turf but has produced a string of consistent efforts of late; turned in a solid effort in defeat three weeks ago, when runner-up over C&D (handicap), that form been boosted; could be hard to beat if building on last performance

Verdict

Leslies Pathtofame is one for the shortlist even if the losing run tempers enthusiasm while Get Carter has winning CD form. But BLESS ME FRED is a firm tip. He can't be faulted for consistency and his latest effort has been franked.
