Stratum is difficult to oppose here but the price the going and the trip are questions enough to pass him over on this occasion regardless wether he can make the transition at this lowly grade, should win but very short.

Some routine testing might be a good idea here as independent act ran a good race and looked set to go for home and just found nil coming off the bridle in the home straight, having not needed to be asked a question. Very odd looking race even for the all weather.
