Verdict

A wide open contest gets proceedings underway but many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Saddler¿s Cove, Airgusta and Daunted and the tentative vote goes to the last named. The selection goes particularly well for his pilot and although he was slightly disappointing last time out, the step up to this trip should suit and he will be hard to beat. Saddler¿s Cove rates the main danger on his latest second behind Alexander Sapphire and he looks on a fair mark but he has not won for over a year and for that reason he is opposed. Airgusta is another worthy of respect on his latest second behind Dark Parade as that form has since been franked. He is one of the least exposed in the field and he has plenty of scope for improvement and will not be far away. Of the remainder Euippe has a top jockey booked for this type of race and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Daunted.
