Verdict
Riska King, a half-brother to three winners, is bred to do better over further, while Rotary, a rare runner for Ian Balding here, would not have to be that good to take a hand in the finish. Crimebusters, hails from the family of the high class two-year-old Unblest, but the vote goes to Park Star, who was a good third over course and distance, in what looked a fair maiden.
