Verdict

In the seller, Templet gets the nod ahead of Stallone and Moon Shot. Templet's course and distance run behind Osolomio two runs ago reads well in the context of this race and he looks one of the more-likely contenders today. Finished Article looks held on that form. Despite his absence, Stallone, who is the highest-rated runner in the line up, holds a very good chance if anywhere near his best, while Moon Shot is generally consistent and entitled to some thought at this lowly level. For us, these look to be the leading players, with Templet getting the vote.
