In depth
Verdict
Pirandello, with his stable's horses running pretty well, can bring his winning sequence to three. Admittedly, he has risen 9lbs in the ratings for the last of those successes but this is not the strongest of contests. The lightly-raced mare Macnance was just touched off over course and distance on her last run and should also go well. Novi Sad certainly has place claims if running to his best.
