Verdict
A poor seller gets proceedings underway but something has to win and the principals look to be Three Ships, Kyathos and Forzacurity and the narrow vote is given to Three Ships. The selection was a fair fourth behind Amnesty last time out he remains on a fair mark and he looks a value bet in an open affair. Kyathos rates the main danger on his best form. He is dropping in grade and under conditions that suit he will not be far away. Forzacurity is another that could go well now returned to this grade but his best form is with more cut in the ground and he looks opposable on that basis. Discomania has won in this grade before and although she has pulled up on her last two starts her yard are very shrewd and she should be watched in the market. Of the remainder Thunderclap is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is hard to win with and with this in mind he is hard to win with.
