In depth
Verdict
A competitive contest rounds of proceedings with many in form rivals in opposition including Terek Royal Prodigy and Kaikovra and we will take a chance on Terek. The gelding from the Richard Phillips yard won well last time out when defeating Dazzling Rio and now he has got his head in front he could go on to better things as long as he relaxes in the early part of the race as he is prone to pull. Royal Prodigy rates the main danger he also won well last time out Amritsr but that was in a seller and he will find this much more competitive. Karikovra is also worthy of consideration he was a fair second behind Mysteri Dancer last time and he could go well off the same mark here. Of the remainder Secret's Out is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but we are happy to side with Terek.
