Verdict

HIT THE SILK has been in good form of late and he can register a victory in this competitive looking rated event. The selection wasn't beaten far last time out and he can see off Mokhalad who has won twice already this campaign. Third place can go to Improving who receives weight from all of his rivals.
  1. Hit The Silk
  2. Mokhalad
  3. Improving
