        In depth

        Verdict

        Proven at the highest level when scoring at Belmont in June, Silver State missed the break when narrowly beaten in his prep-race but has every chance if cleanly away. But LIFE IS GOOD has more scope having missed out by only a neck in a previous Grade 1 outing before returning a facile winner of his prep at Belmont. Todd Pletcher’s colt can prove too good for these. Ginobili has improved for being gelded and landed a Grade 2 over 7f here last time with Eight Rings back in fourth and promises more to come while the Japanese stablemates Pingxiang and Jasper Prince have both won on Dirt at home but the form is hard to assess.
