Verdict

This looks a straight match between QUEL DESTIN and the so-far unbeaten Torpillo. The latter has recorded a couple of wide-margin victories at Sandown but is going left-handed here and wouldn’t want the going to dry out any further. The former appears to handle all types of ground and has already won a Grade 1 and a Grade 2. Capone and Fanzio are likely competing for place money.
