        In depth

        Verdict

        A tough handicap here for punters to fathom with many in form rivals in opposition including Ruby Legend, Emerging Star and Movie King and we will take a chance on Ruby Legend. The five year old was a good second last time out behind Princes Theater, that form has since been franked and with conditions again in his favour he will be hard to beat, Emerging Star rates the main danger he won well last time out when defeating Arpeggio but he has risen in the weights for that win and that may just find him out. Movie King is also worthy of consideration despite top weight but although he has won over this trip his best efforts have been over slightly shorter so for that reason he is opposed on this occasion. Lunar Leader is another that has been in fine form of late but he gave the impression the handicapper had caught up with him when he was disappointing at Sandown last time. Of the remainder Parkansilla is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market off what looks a fair mark but we are happy to side with the bang in form Ruby Legend.
