Verdict

Timeteam comes out best at the weights but he looks flattered by his rating and preference is for ROMANTIC QUEEN ahead of Orpenindeed. All three of our selection's career wins have come over course and distance and she looked a shade unfortunate when beaten a length last time out over five. Having won a handicap prior to that she looks up to his current rating, one that gives her leading claims at the weights, and unlike a few of her rivals conditions look ideal for the filly. Orpenindeed is in grand form, arriving as he does in search of the hat-trick, but while he has won over course and distance recent efforts have been over further and carrying top-weight to victory won't be easy. Timeteam has won his last three starts in plating company so perhaps we shouldn't read too much into his recent handicap defeat. David Evans has a fine record in this type of race too and he's got excellent claims at the weights. Misaro is seen to his best when forcing the pace over five so from a wide draw is taken on along with Faited To Pretend, who has looked short of the pace needed for this trip. Interchoice Star is at his best over course and distance but has plenty to find on the figures so, in a tight claimer, our preference is for Romantic Queen.
