Verdict

Know The Law gets the vote here with River Deuce and Generous Lad rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating Del Mar Sunset and although rising in the weights he again has plenty in his favour and if in the same mood he will be hard to beat. River Deuce rates the main danger as he won a maiden last time out when beating Putra Square but he looks to have plenty of weight for what he has actually achieved and he is taken on with this in mind. Generous Lad is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is hard to win with. Of the remainder Ocean Avenue looks weighted up to his best while River City may be getting race fit before going jumping and with this in mind for the winner we return to Know The Law.
