Verdict
Prince Among Men, Colorado Falls, Wet Lips and Lease are a handful against the field in a wide open affair and the tentative vote goes to Prince Among Men. The selection landed a gamble over course and distance last time out when defeating Kniaz and although he has a penalty for that win that was his first run after an absence and he is sure to have come on for the run and he is taken to win again under conditions that suit. Colorado Falls rates the main danger he will find this much easier than the race he was well beaten in at Aintree behind Nawamees. Hi stable are in form but he would not want to much rain and for that reason he is opposed. Wet Lips is another that could go well on his best form but he gave the impression the handicapper had caught up with him when well behind Gimmick last time and fro that reason he is passed over on this occasion. Lease was a fair fourth behind Gargoyle Girl Last time and is sure to be suited by the return to this trip so is worth noting in the market. Of the remainder Dancer Life has the ability to go close but does not often use it and for the winner we return to Prince Among Men.
