Verdict

Satellite is an interesting one as he's failed to hitherto fulfil his apparent potential but is now up in trip and and down again in the official ratings. He's a tempting option but is probably best watched at this new distance. Cape Castle has been shrewdly placed to complete an all-weather and Turf hat-trick and still looks to operate off a competitive mark whereas Haines seems to have plateaued the last twice after racking up an all-weather four-timer. Arcamante is hard to catch right but a chance is taken with STRAWBERRY MARTINI, impressive on artificial surfaces during the winter months. She didn't shape too badly on her return from a seven-month break at Newmarket and could have more to offer and represent a tad of value in an open contest.
