Verdict

AUCKLAND has twice scored over C&D this season already and despite a rising handicap mark could have more to offer still. He may have allowed the eventual winner too much rope at Roscommon earlier in the week over a longer trip when settling for second spot but can regain the winning thread now at this favoured track and trip. Moritzburg showed enough in winning a Listowel maiden to warrant respect and isn't harshly judged on last month Royal Ascot failure while similar sentiments apply to Lightening Fast, who was also down the field in the Britannia Stakes. Handicap debutant Rise Again and Diarist complete the shortlist.
  1. Auckland
  2. Moritzburg
  3. Diarist
