In depth
Verdict
Another wide open affair in which many have chances but the TEAMtalk selection is Arogant Prince. He saves his best form for this course and distance and his stable is in top form. Maktavish is a stable companion of Arogant Prince but jockey booking suggest he is the second string. Matty Tun is also worthy of consideration he has been holding his form well of late and was a good third last time out behind Sundried Tomato. Rafters Music could also go well at a fair price he goes well on the course but his best form is over a longer trip. Hagley Park ran as if returning to form last time out when third behind Cash and if he can reproduce that effort he will not be far away. Fiamma Royale could also go well but he ran as if in the handicappers grip when fourth behind Cash last time out. The remainder are badly out of form and need to improve on there latest form to score.
