Verdict
A tough race to call here for punters with very little between many of the leading lights but the principals look to be Captain Bolsh, Royal Embrace and Feelin Irie and the narrow vote is given to Captain Bolsh. The selection was a fair fourth behind Strife last time out. That form has since been franked and with the first time visor expected to bring about some more improvement he will be hard to beat. Royal Embrace rates the main danger on his latest second behind Octomus Razor but he continues to rise in the weights without winning and for that reason he is opposed. Feelin Irie is another worthy of respect on his latest second behind Jordans Light but that form has since been let down and he looks beatable under top weight. Halfwaytoparadise is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is another that looks weighted up to his best and for the winner we return to Captain Bolsh.
