      Verdict

      Palazzo hasn’t been entirely disgraced on Tapeta either side of a second in a seller over track and trip in September but KING OF TONGA should be up to winning in a race like this even though his losing run now stretches back almost two years. Emraan could figure if first-time headgear has an impact with Written Broadcast possibly best of the rest.
