In depth
Verdict
A wide open contest rounds off proceedings and many can be given chances on their best form and the main protagonists appear to be Dynamic Lifter, Capriolo, Exellance and my God Son and we will take a chance on Dynamic Lifter. The gelding has been in fair form of late under similar conditions and a reproduction of his latest second behind Baloo would make him hard to beat. Exellance rates the main danger on his latest third behind Misty Future but he has never won over this trip before and for that reason he is opposed on this occasion. Capriolo was fourth behind Wagner last time who is a stable companion of the selection Dynamic Lifter so they should know were they stand with him. My Good Son is another to consider now he reverts to a more suitable trip having appeared not to stay three and quarter miles last time. Of the remainder Fountain Bank is still on a handy mark but he will need to improve again to defeat the selection Dynamic Lifter.
