CITY SELECTIONS MEHMENTO drops in class following a string of consistent efforts and, back down to his last winning mark, Archie Watson’s gelding can regain the winning thread. Sir Oliver was narrowly denied over C&D last month and he’s feared most, though Revolutionise is no forlorn hope. Karibana is similarly well handicapped from a mark of 89 (last successful from 2lb higher) so he’s another to consider in a wide open contest. MEHMENTO
