In depth
Verdict
Louisiade,Gilded Cove and Karminskey Park are three against the field in a wide open affair and the vote is given to Louisiade. The selection has been in top form of late and won well last time out when beating Quantica. Granted she has a penalty for that win but with a promising apprentice taking the ride she is the one to be on. Gilded Cove rates the main danger as he won well last time out when beating Henry Tun but he looks weighted up to his best and for that reason he is over looked. Karminskey Park is another worthy of respect as she also won well last time out when beating Marinate but all her best form is on soft ground on turf and she has been done no favours by the draw. Of the remainder Mister Mal remains on a handy mark and should go well at a price but in a race that throws up more questions than answers for the winner we return to Louisiade.
