In depth
Verdict
New York, Captain Becker and Disengage look the ones to concentrate on in an open affair and we will take a chance on New York. The half sister to the former useful two year old Superstar Leo showed enough on her debut when third behind Incheni to suggest she can win a race of this nature and is she can reproduce that effort now she is tried on turf she will be hard to beat. Captain Becker is a half brother to the fairly useful Ground Zero and he will not have to be anything special to win this on his debut so he is worth noting in the market. Disengage is also worthy of respect but she did improve as expected when a disappointing favourite last time. Of the remainder Bond Blade is from a yard in form and is worth noting in the market but we are happy to side with New York.
