Verdict

Apache Pilot and Classical Milano are course specialists but neither have been in the best of form lately. PRINCE DUNDEE (NAP) was almost carried out by a loose horse here last month so did well to recover his ground and win going away. He races off a career-high mark today but is the one to beat. Muroor was still beaten 12 lengths when second here last time but Brian Hughes takes the reins and he might have place claims again. Hitman Fred was engaged at Perth yesterday.
