Verdict
Master Of The Race has a habit of finding one too good but we will give him one more chance to get his head in front today with Rio Riva and Hartshead the main dangers. The selection has finished second five times now, but he did nothing wrong last time when chasing home Davenport at Sandown and with this step-up in trip in his favour he gets the narrow call. Rio Riva is rising in the weights but he won well last time when beating Namroc at Redcar and this progressive 4-year-old should not be dismissed lightly. Hartshead is a course and distance winner and he loves this fast ground so with his yard in good form he is respected. Krugerrand goes well on this track and his trainer is bang in form and although he never runs two races alike, he is certainly one to consider at an each-way price. A tough race this for punters to call, but Master Of The Race is put forward as the percentage call.
