In depth

Verdict

Holiday Camp,Pearl King and Red Racketeer are three against the field in another tough race to call for punters and the vote is given to Pearl King. The selection was a fair second behind Along The Nile last time out. That form has since been franked and from the same mark here will be hard to beat. Holiday Camp rates the main danger as he won well last time out when beating All Ivory. However that was on a much softer surface and he may be vulnerable under his penalty on this faster ground. Red Racketeer is another worthy of respect on his best form but he ran as if in thew handicappers grip when third behind Shannon Springs last time and again he looks vulnerable off this mark.. Of the remainder Dancer's Serenade and Bentley Brook are game ands consistent and are sure to run their races but for the winner we return to Pearl King.
