Verdict

This looks a match between Carlton Scroop and Princess of Aeneas with Count The Trees rating the main danger and the vote is given to Princess of Aeneas. The selection was a fair second in this grade last time out behind Final Bid that looks solid form in the context of this race and under conditions that suit she is taken to score. Carlton Scroop rates the main danger on his best form and this represents a drop in class but he has not progressed as expected and is taken on with this in mind. Count The Trees is unexposed and could improve but his overall profile leaves him with a little to find. Of the remainder Something Simple is from a yard in form and is worth a cautionary look in the market but for the winner we return to Princess of Aeneas.
