Verdict

MELAKAZ is a thoroughly likeable sort who is definitely the type to win more races this year. Robert Stephens' 5-y-o gets the vote to make a winning reappearance at the expense of What Will Be, who ran well on both outings at this venue last month and should be in the mix once again. Smokey Malone can fill out third spot.

  1. MELAKAZ (IRE)
  2. WHAT WILL BE (IRE)
  3. SMOKEY MALONE
