Gaelic Roulette. Ganymede and Mister Completely are three against the field in a wide open handicap and the narrow vote is given to Ganymede. The selection was a good second behind Commemoration Day last time out and off the same mark here from a good draw he looks the one to be on. Gaelic Rouelette rates the main danger as he has won his last two races in good style when beating Rosnard last time but this is much more competitive and he looks vulnerable under his penalty. Mister Completely loves it round here but he will need to improve again to win off this career high mark. Of the remainder Adage has yet to prove he stays this far while Pentasilea looks vulnerable under his big weight and for the winner we return to Ganymede.
