Verdict
This looks a match between Deuxieme and Corky and the confident vote goes to Deuxieme. The selection was a fair third behind Kehaar on his debut, he is sure to have come on for the run and with conditions in his favour he will be hard to beat. Corky rates the main danger on his latest third behind King's Caprice last time out and a reproduction of that effort would see him go close, but he may be seen to better effect over a longer trip and for that reason he is passed over on this occasion. Violet Park and Native Turk are from shrewd yards and are worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Deuxieme.
