In depth
Verdict
Kingsgate Bay, King After and Manic are three against the field in a tough race to call for punters and the vote goes to King After. The selection won well last time out when defeating Orpendonna and although he is rising in the weights he won a shade cosily and is taken to win again. Kingsgate Bay rates the main danger as he has won his last two races in good style and won well last time out when defeating Kempsey but this is more competitive and he may struggle under this weight. Manic was a fair third behind Il colosseo last time and is another with place claims but he may be seen to better effect over a longer trip so for that reason he is opposed. Of the remainder Joyeaux is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market
