Verdict

An interesting stayers' chase where GLITTERING LOVE has to step up again, but he is in such good form that he should be followed until beaten. With the track and conditions again to suit he gets the thumbs up. Strong Resemblance is respected, and his latest run is a reminder that sooner or later the handicapper will catch up. Capard King is interesting from this mark if a change of scenery has helped, while Well Above Par is not ruled out.
  1. Glittering Love
  2. Capard King
  3. Well Above Par
