Verdict

Fulvio still looks on a decent mark following two recent victories and is taken to land the hat-trick from Sedge and Motu. The selection's wins have only been in banded company but both were gained in great style. On the last occasion he met trouble in running but still managed to beat Countrywide Girl by a comfortable length and three-quarters. If in the same mood he will be hard to beat today. Sedge was successful over course and distance last month, but ran too badly to be true next time.If he decides to run his race today he should be involved in the finish. Motu hasn't raced since December, but looks on a very decent mark if he is fully fit. Val de Mal and Blakeshall Quest can also be given a chance in what is a very open contest, but Fulvio is at the top of his game and looks set to make it three in a row.
