Best Odds
Didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten just over 4l) last month upped to 1m4f; season-ticket holder here with four wins; been dropped a bit in the official ratings and by no means ruled out.

Successful twice in his last three starts; has won previously at this course; finished seventh, beaten 7l by Repetition over 1m4f at Vaal (handicap) last month; just second start in this company; is a player.

Appears to be on the upgrade judged on two most recent runs and recent runs have been consistent; behind Repetition over 1m4f at Vaal (handicap) when better was expected (went off 100-30) last month; just second start in this company but a rise in the ratings to contend with; this represents a step up in class so has some questions to answer.

Safely held at Vaal last month behind Repetition over 1m4f (handicap) when beaten 7l (fourth of 13); achieved each of his three career wins at Vaal and not seen the winners' enclosure for a while now (last win in November); others have more pressing claims as a few rivals look in good form.

Verdict
It's hard to get away from BATTLEGROUND. He is fancied to reverse the placings with Corrupt from their last meeting. This trip could be a bit far for Green Machine.
