Verdict

A wide open staying race here with many in form rivals in opposition including Paddy Mul, Kagoshima and Unleaded and we will side with Paddy Mul. The selection beat Kogashima last time by a head and he is taken to confirm his superiority over that rival on these terms. Unleaded defeated The Last Mohican in good style last time and that form has since been franked but this looks much more competitive. Port Moreno is another that could go well but he is not proven over the trip so for the winner we return to Paddy Mul.
