Verdict

SUPERIOR FORCE has been given a bit of time since his below-par run here in March (found to be coughing post race) and might be worth another chance as his AW efforts prior to that had been promising. El Bello ran a blinder over C&D last month and is second choice ahead of Racing Royalty and the unexposed Come On The Lads.

  1. SUPERIOR FORCE
  2. EL BELLO
  3. RACING ROYALTY
