Verdict

This could be run at a fierce pace for such a small field with both Akamanto and Careyanne happiest when making the running and Luv U Whatever also capable of the same tactics. BARTHOLOMEW J therefore rates the safest bet of the quartet who look to have the strongest form. Lydia Pearce's four-year-old is versatile tactically and should be able to let the race unfold before picking off his rivals if they indeed go too hard upfront. Akamanto is the most feared and he stays this trip strongly so may be the one who prevails if this becomes a war off attrition. Luv U Whatever is not ruled out either.
  1. Bartholomew J
