In depth
Verdict
A large field goes to post for this seller with many in form rivals in opposition including Just Midas, Doberman and Pallitas and we will take a chance on Just Midas. The gelding from the Martin Pipe yard won well last time out in similar grade when defeating Hidden Smile and although he has risen in the weights he will be hard to beat as he appeared to win with plenty in hand. Pallitas was third in that race and he will not be far away as he is slightly better off at the weights. Doberman is another worthy of consideration he was third behind Harmony Hall in a handicap last time and this looks easier but again he may find one or two to good. Of the remainder Dunkerron is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but we are happy to side with Just Midas.
