In depth
Verdict
Regent's Secret gets the confident vote here with Hula Ballew and Whitethorne rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating Riley Boys, that form looks rock solid in thew context of this race and despite his penalty he looks the one to be on under similar conditions here. Hula Ballew rates the main danger but he was behind the selection last time and although better off at the weights he still has a little to find. Whitethorne is another that could go well as he goes well at the track but he has yet to win over this trip and is opposed for that reason. Of the remainder Efidium is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is hard to win with while Vicious Warrior looks weighted up to his best and for the winner we return to Regents Secret.
