        In depth

        Verdict

        Love Supreme, Double Gem and High Kick look the three to concentrate on in the finale and the confident vote goes to Love Supreme. The selection was a good second behind Feathered Lady in his native Ireland last time out, that represents solid form and under conditions that suit he will be hard to beat. Double Gem rates the main danger on her latest second behind Bayside as that form has since been franked and she may improve for this faster surface. High Kick is a well bred half brother to Derby hero High-Rise and represents a yard that does well in this sphere so he should be closely monitored in the market. Of the remainder Silver Dollars is another well bred sort that should be noted but he is bred to do better over a longer trip and for the winner we return to Love Supreme who at least has experience on his side.
