Verdict

Trainer Gordon Elliott has won this race with Empire Burleque and Sometime Soon in the last couple of years and the stable can land the spoils in the closing race here with the Gigginstown House Stud-owned FURY ROAD who disappointed on debut when last seen in December but should have the measure of his opponents in this line up. Ranger P and Barrow Bounty can battle for the minor honours while Resurrected Duke is worthy of consideration on debut.
  1. Fury Road
  2. Ranger P
