Verdict

There are a couple of decent types who are just starting their chasing careers in Ozzie The Oscar and Capitoul to make this a good test and both of those deserve to be respected in this field. Both have jumped and travelled well in their races so far but the form of SAN BENEDETO stands out here having been highly-tried for most of the season in Grade 1 company. He wasn’t beaten far last time by Altior and although he may have been flattered a repeat of that run would be good enough here. Both Work In Progress and Kapstadt face tough examinations here based on what they have shown so far.
  1. San Benedeto
  2. Ozzie The Oscar
  3. Capitoul
