In depth
Verdict
A poor contest here but something has to win and the principals look to be Carmania, Eden Star and Hamburg Springer and the vote is given to the last named. The selection won well a couple of runs ago before being slightly disappointing last time out. However the drop back to this trip should suit and from what looks a good draw he is taken to score. Carmania rates the main danger on his latest second behind Wilfrod Maverick but he is far from consistent and for that reason is opposed. Eden Star is another worthy of respect on his latest fourth behind Jennverse but he gave the impression he would be suited by a longer trip and he is passed over on this occasion. Of the remainder Justenjoy Yourself is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to Hamburg Springer.
