Verdict

Denarius Secundus, Before The Mast and Just Muckin Around are three against the field in an open affair and the vote is given to Denarius Secundus. The selection was a fair second in a similar race last time out behind Kirov King, that form has since been franked and off the same mark here he will be hard to beat. Before The Mast rates the main danger on his best form but all his best efforts of late have come on a much softer surface and at likely odds he looks worth opposing. Just Muckin Around is another worthy of respect on his latest fourth behind Swallow Magic but he has had plenty of chances and is becoming hard to win with. Of the remainder Munadil and Jour de Mee have dropped to attractive marks and should be noted in the market but for the winner we return to Denarius Secundus.
