Dagola is the pick here with Ringarooma, Halcyon Magic, Glenviews Oldport and Tuscan Treaty all making for a close contest. Five of these met over the course-and-distance last Monday, with Ringarooma coming out on top, but she was not that far ahead of Dagola or indeed Tuscan Treaty and Glenviews Oldport, and if the race pans out kindly for Dagola then it could be his turn today. It has to be said that he did not get the best of runs last time, having been given plenty to do by Oscar Urbina who was boxed in on the rail before coming wide for a run. The manoeuvre failed to pay off, with Ringarooma bursting through up the inside to score, but they are both drawn on the outside here, and with John Egan taking over, we reckon that it will be a lot, lot closer between the pair today. Tuscan Treaty is housed even wider in stall 14, while Glenviews Oldport is boxed on the inside and will need luck in running. All in all, this is a race that will be decided by tactics as much as anything, and it is hoped that Dagola will prove the answer.
