Verdict

An interesting opener where GAME ON can make the most of a 6lb pull with his Uttoxeter conqueror Indian Hercules and come good this time. Wemyss Point will also benefit from this extra couple of furlongs and is feared in opposition. More appeared to be expected of Knight In Dubai on his debut and connections have not rushed him back to the track. He could also do much better over this longer trip now, while the same can be said of Le Drapeau and the mare Hermanus. Overworkdunderpaid and Trixster are both worth noting in the market. The former, in particular, would be of greater interest if the stable's runners were in better form, though they did have a winner earlier this week.
  1. Game On
