Muhallab won over track and trip last month but found one too good under a penalty last time. Robben Rainbow finished runner-up here recently without threatening the winner while My Valentino’s earlier win at Hamilton is his only success so far in 33 attempts. Duke Cosimo hasn’t won on Turf since 2016 and BE PROUD hasn’t scored anywhere yet but he’s less exposed than most and, after going very close at Hamilton last time, Brian Ellison’s charge is taken to open his account in this.
