In depth

Verdict

A poor seller here and not many can be give a serious chance of winning but the main protagonists look to be Captain Crusoe, Malarkey and Blue Savanna and the tentative vote goes to Captain Crusoe. The six-year-old was a good third after a long absence behind Game Guru last time and if he does not bounce he will be hard to beat. Malarkey rates the main danger on his best form of a couple of seasons ago but he may just need the run after a 483 day break. Blue Savanna is another that could go well he was a fair second behind Devote last time and a reproduction of that effort would give him definite place claims. Of the remainder Alimiste is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but in a race that is full of imponderables for the winner we return to Captain Crusoe.
