        Verdict

        Princess Kiotto goes from strength to strength and is chosen to beat Moonshine Beach, Robbo and Riyadh. Tim Easterby's three-year-old has landed her last two contests in great style.There was a big gap between the victories at Beverley and Newcastle due to an injury incurred in the first contest so under the circumstances it was a remarkable effort. She is relatively lightly raced and should still have plenty of improvement in her. Moonshine Beach was successful here last time over a slightly shorter trip, staying on well to beat Crocolat. He does have a big weight today but should still figure in the finish. Riyadh is three pounds better off with Moonshine Beach and should get a lot closer this time. Robbo is an interesting runner, he finished fourth in this event two years ago but hasn't raced on the flat since. He will no doubt be gearing up for another chasing campaign, but does get in here on a very low mark. Toni Alcala is also worthy of a mention under the champion jockey, but Princess Kiotto appears to be the most progressive in the line up and gets the vote
