Verdict
Another tough race to call here for punters with very little between many of the leading lights but the principals loom to be Another Genepi Saxon Lil and Patavium Prince and the vote is given to Another Genepi. The selection ran well in a better race last time out when fifth, this looks easier and with rain fiercest which will suit he will be hard to beat. Saxon Lil is well weighted on her best form but she has been very inconsistent of late so can not be put forward with any confidence. Patavium Prince is another that could go well on his latest second behind Namu but he would not want to much rain. Bond Diamond is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is another that is hard to win with and in a race where the market will be very informative for the winner we return to Another Genepi to small stakes.
