In depth
Verdict
Greenwood,Alpaga Le Jomage and Majestical are three against the field in a touggh race to call for punters and the vote is given to Greenwood. The selection was a fair third behind Kalistas Pride last time out and although the drop in trip has to be of concern that form looks rock solid in the context of this race and from a good draw he is taken to score. Alpaga Le Jomage rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Tusacrora. He looks sure to be suited by the drop in trip and should be monitored in the market. Majestical was second behind Kalistas Pride last time but at these weights he should be beaten by the selection on a liner through that horse. Hard To Catch is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he looks vulnerable off this mark. Of the remainder Savile's Delight has the ability to go close and could go well at price but he does not like to use it and in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to Greenwood.
