Although Exzilerating has an obvious chance at the weights today, the Zilzal colt has become a very expensive horse to follow is not one to go overboard about at a short price considering the number of previous chances he has wasted in his search for a first career win. Therefore, a slender preference is for Leoballero, whose recent form with Rejuvenate received a sound boost when Amanda Perrett's charge chased home Spanish Don at Newbury on Saturday. Fabrian and Fire Cat are others to consider if the indication from the betting ring show them in a positive light. But Leoballero, as one of the lesser exposed runners in the field gets the vote today. The three-year-old has done little wrong in is previous outings and, as officially the best horse ion the race, he can put his experience to good use today.
