Racing Post verdict
Third-partyFirst Officer is preferred to the top-rated Melek Alreeh on a fitness edge, and that is our selection here. Melek Alreeh, Wonder and Bintabuha are all closely matched on our figures and look the chief dangers in a competitive six-runner race. Confidence in the selection is low, but First Officer's claims on that fitness edge alone are enough to give him the verdict.
