Fifteen Love gets the confident vote in the opener with Redolent and Alcimedes rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair second behind Rio De La Plata. That horse is held in high regard and with improvement likely he is hard to oppose. Redolent rates the main danger on his latest second behind Fast Company. However the third in that race has since been well beaten and he is taken on with this in mind. Alcimedes is a well-bred colt by Domedriver and should be watched in the market but the suspicion is he will be seen effect over a longer trip in time. Of the remainder Criterion is a Dr Fong colt and is another that could go well but he is bred to be suited by a faster surface and in a race where the market will be very informative for the winner we return to Fifteen Love who sets a fair standard.
