Verdict

The draw always plays a part in the make and shape of a race like this and International Man who is in a rich vein of form and Arcanada must be respected although the former of that duo has never won off a mark this high from their low draws. The two 3yo’s in the race are both of interest although one – Molivaliente – arrives in better form that the other – Moraawed – although both have questions to answer with the former needing to show he acts on turf and the latter needing to bounce back from a poor run. PENWORTHAM a former winner of this race is always of interest here; he’ll need some luck but the race scenario could suit him ideally with Whitefountainfairy also respected.
  1. Penwortham
  2. Molivaliente
  3. Arcanada
