In depth

Verdict

Coeur d'Alene gest the confident vote here with Menelaus and Win A Rose rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair third behind Terramarique last time out when he was doing all his best work at the finish. He looks sure to be suited by this slightly longer trip and off the same mark here he looks a value bet. Menelaus rates the main danger on his latest second behind Point but he will do well to give weight and a beating to the selection. Win A Rose is another worthy of respect but he was behind the selection last time and on the same terms here there is no reason why he should gain his revenge. The booking of Timmy Murphy for Ushnu catches the eye and he should be watched in the market while Rabbit is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but is hard to win with and Coeur d'Alene looks the one to be on.
