Verdict
A poor seller here but something has to win and the principals look to be Denarius Secundus, Mill Bank and Royale Acadou and the tentative vote is given to Denarius Secundus. The selection was a fair second behind Kirov King last time out. That form looks rock solid in this grade and he need only run up to that mark to win this. Mil; Bank rates there main danger on his latest third behind Pardini but he will do well to give weight and a beating to the selection and for that reason he is opposed. Royale Acadou is another that could go well on his latest third behind Taranis. The drop in trip and grade looks sure to suit and he should be closely watched in the market. Vanormix is another dropping in grade but he seems to have his own ideas about the game. Of the remainder Taksina is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is very exposed and in a race where stakes should be kept to a min imum for the winner we return to Denarius Secundus.
