Verdict

Another tough race to call here for punters with very little between many of the leading lights but the principals look to be Kasumi,Takitwo,Pivotal Era and Glencalvie and the narrow nomination is given to Kasumi. The selection was an unlucky in running fourth behind Binnion Bay last time out. In the hope that he gets the breaks here he looks a value bet. Takitwo rates the main danger on his latest third behuind Yandina but his best form on the All-Weather haas come at Wolverhampton and he is taken on with this in mind. Pivotal Era is another that could go well on his latest third behind Arabian Gleam. That horse has since been placed at Royal Ascot and if he copes with the surface he will be a danger to all. Glencalvie ran as if the handicapper had caught up with him last time while Charlie Delta is in the form of his life but looks vulnerable under another penalty and with thia in mind for the winner we return to Kasumi.
