Verdict

Winning chaser GOBLIN is the selection to win on the level for the fourth time while Limelight and Prince of Medina are the next best of a bad bunch. The worry for the selection is this trip may be on the sharp side for him with all of the gelding's best performances coming over a longer. However a winner in a chase off a mark of 128 his rating of 48 in this sphere is promising and even more so in this company. At the other end of the handicap Limelight run a good race under a similar mark last time still unexposed he could improve but his best chance to break the maiden's tag may have past him last time. Prince Of Medina is one win from two over course and distance and is still above his last winning mark. His failure to score off lowly ratings is a concern but this field is hardly full of quality. With that last statement in mind Prince Charlemagne, Historical Giant and Valentine Blue have enough about them to share the prize pot but Goblin marginally appeals the most.
