In depth

Verdict

A wide open contest here with many in form rivals in opposition including Bob The Piler, Court of Justice, Only Words, and Winged Angel and we will side with Only Words. The gelding has been in fair form of late and was a good second behind Gospel Song last time. He runs off the same mark here and with conditions to suit he will be hard to beat. Bob The Piler rates the main danger he won in the style of an improver last time out when defeating My Line and he will not be far away. Court Of Justice is also worthy of respect he defeated Robbie Can Can in facile style last time and although he has risen in the weights he will not be far away. Winged Angle would have a chance on his best form but he ran as if something was amiss last time and can not be backed with any confidence. Of the remainder Mister Chisum is on a fair mark and could go well but in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum we will side with Only Words.
