Verdict

This can go to the consistent SPIRIT OF ZEBEDEE, who us yet to run a bad race so far this year and has clearly improved compared to some of his runs last year. He seems to have relished the switch to all-weather tracks and he looks to still be on a workable mark despite two recent victories. Ideally he may prefer a more obvious pace-setter than any of his rivals are likely to prove to be, but he has shown that he can make the running if needs be. Dark Side Dream has been running well in defeat recently and can prove the main danger, ahead of former C&D scorer Semana Santa.
  1. Spirit of Zebedee

  3. Semana Santa
