Emperor's Well, Sol Rojo and Hamaasy are three against the field in a tough race to call for punters and the vote is given to Emperor's Well. The selection won this race last year the same mark was a fair second behind Gala Sunday last time out, that form has since been franked and with the blinkers back on despite his poor draw he will be hard to beat. So Rojo rates the main danger on his best form but he was very disappointing last time out for no apparent reason so he can not be put forward with much confidence. Hamaasy is another that could go well on his latest third behind Kabis Amigos but he has had plenty of chances of late without taking one . Airedale Lad has one of the better jockeys onboard and if the ran arrives he could go well at a price but in a trappy affair for the winner we return to Emperor's Well.
