        In depth

        Verdict

        Mon Petite Amour, Red Wine and King After are three against the field in a competitive finale and the vote is given to Mon Petite Amour. The selection shaped as if returning to form when second behind Bridgewater Boys last time out, that form looks solid in the context of this race and off the same mark here he will take a deal of beating. Red Wine rates the main danger on his latest third behind Mutamaasek, that horse has won again since and with his yard continuing in good form he will not be far away. King After is another worthy of respect as he was a staying on fifth behind Safari Sundowner last time out and should appreciate this longer trip. Pactolos Way may need the run after an 108 day break while Alexander Guru has yet to win over a trip this far. Our Kes could have the race run to suit and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Mon Petite Amour.
