Verdict
A bumper rounds off the card and as usual in these events the market will be all important but the principals look to be Hit The Spot,Digital Media and Ragador and the narrow vote is given to Hit The Spot. Thje selection hails from a yard that does well in these events and this well bred Kayf Tara gelding is sure to know his job. Digital Media rates the main danger also represents top connections but this gelding bty Taipan is bred to be suited by a longer trip in time. Ragador is a gelding by El Conquistador and is another that could go well but in a race where the market may well tell all for the winner we return to Hit The Spot.
