In depth

Verdict

The top three are closely matched at the weights, but Kavachi arrives out of sorts and Bennelong's best form is over shorter trips. In contrast, COMMAND MARSHAL won as recently as June, stays the distance and will handle any cut in the ground. He gets the nod racing in plating company for the first time on the Flat. Tuscan King may do better dropping to this level, but Munich's winning form is over 7f and Prince Golan hasn't raced since February.
