In depth

Verdict

A wide open handicap rounds off the card and there is very little between many of the leading lights but the principals look to be Cape Of Storms, Sovereignty and Elusive Warrior and the narrow vote is given to the last named. The selection won well last time out when beating Sun Catcher and although rising in the weights he looks progressive and he is taken to win again. Cape Of Storms rates the main danger on his latest second behind Mineral Rights last time out but he snatched defeat out of the jaws of victory and he looks one to have reservations about. Its A Dream has dropped to a handy mark and with his shrewd yard in form he should be watched in the market. Sovereignty is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he again looks vulnerable off this mark. Of the others, Affrettando may need the run after a 113 day break and for the winner we return to Elusive Warrior.
