Verdict
A poor seller here but something has to win and the principals look to be Kristiansand , Caukleys Bank and Tara's Knight and the vote is given to Kristiansand. The selection won on his only start to date when beating Primus Into Pares that form looks rock solid in the context of this race and despite top weifght he looks the one to be on. Caukleys Bank rates the main daqnger as he is deropping in grade and weas a fair fourth behind Bahamian Spirit when last seen, his yard are in form and he should be watched in the market. Taras Knight is game and consistent and is sure to run her race but she is a short runner and again looks vulnerable on this course with a long run in. It's No Easy is another dropping in grade and could go well at a price but he would not want any more rain while Procrastinate is unexpiosed and is another that couyld improve but for the winner we return to Kristiansand.
