Gardasee gets the vote here with Dramatic Review and Orki Des Aigles rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair second on his debut behind Patman Du Charmil. He is sure to have learnt from the experience and under similar conditions here he will be hard to beat. Dramatic Review rates the main danger on his latest third behind Kristinor. He hails from a yard in top form and should be noted in the market. Orki Des Aigles is another worthy of respect on his best form but he has had plenty of chances without taking one and for that reason he is overlooked. Of the remainder, Bronze Runner is from a shrewd yard and should be noted in the betting, but in a race where few can be fancied for the winner we return to Gardasee.
