Verdict
Black Geronimo beat better horses than this in a claimer over 6f here in November. But that now seems like a fluke on the evidence of his subsequent poor efforts. IT'S ALL A GAME looks a safer bet back on this surface as he scored over a mile here in January and could take the catching if allowed his own way on the front end. Mornin Mr Norris has struggled off higher marks since wining on this surface in August but Polytrack runner-up Jaegar Connoisseur could prove a threat if taking to the Fibresand.
