In depth
Verdict
A wide open contest here and many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Long Walk, Deliceo, Maxie McDonald and Autumn Mist and the vote goes to Long Walk. The selection won well last time out when last seen defeating More Luck with plenty in hand. He remains on a fair mark and with conditions in his favour he will be hard to beat if he is fit enough to do himself Justice. Delecio has been in the form of his life of late and has won his last two races in good style beating Maria Pia last time. However he is rising in the weights and this looks tougher so he is passed over on this occasion. Maxie McDonald won well last time out when defeating Midnight Gunner but thatt was over a longer trip and the drop in distance is not sure to suit. Autumn Mist also won well last time out when defeating Alfred The Great but this looks more competitive and he may struggle under his penalty. Of the remainder Tribal Dancer is from a yard in form and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Long Walk.
