This is anybody’s race. MILBURN JACK gets a token vote as he finsihed closest of those with experience when fourth here on his reappearance. Time's Arrow and Tadween hail from powerful yards and will no doubt finish a lot closer today having both made only modest debuts while better is also expected from the returning Fox King. Casimiro represents Roger Charlton’s in-form yard and is preferred to Balestra and Gustavo Fring of the newcomers.
