      Verdict

      In easily the best race of the night the unexposed KING'S SALUTE rates as confident pick with King Olav and Baylini looking to land minor money. A winner of his first two starts including in a handicap it was perhaps disappointing that the pick didn't make it three from three last time from a revised mark. It just happened he bumped into one too good that day and despite another rise in the weights he has outstanding claims on this contest with more improvement likely. King Olav was a winner on his last start getting up late over couple of furlongs less. Despite that late show his previous form over this far hasn't been that encouraging and we remain to be convinced. Baylini is hit and miss but if having a good day is weighted to put in a bold bid with Dance The Star another to consider but the handicapper might still be in charge with this one. Most of these have something to prove but with just three starts under his belt Kings Salute has the most scope to improve.
