Verdict

A handful of these have long-term potential and it will be interesting to see how the likes of Minella Style, Perfect Pirate and Rock My Style cope with the ground and trip. However, BALLYARTHUR makes the most appeal as an immediate prospect and he gets the nod to lead them home. This is a significantly easier assignment for him than the Grade 2 he contested last time and his class should shine through.
  1. Ballyarthur
  2. Rock My Style
  3. Perfect Pirate
