Verdict

A wide open contest but preference is for GENETICS who had been a model of improvement over this trip until not staying 2m latest. Back to the distance where he won his last race by 12L he gets the nod. Three-year-olds Alternative Fact and Infrastructure both remain open to improvement over this trip and the former hinted at being high class earlier in his career.
