      Verdict

      In a modest race, Italian Romance gets the vote ahead of Emilion. Italian Romance has shown fair form, certainly in the context of this race, on each of his last two runs, which have come over nine furlongs here. Provided that he stays, which is not guaranteed on breeding, he would look to hold good claims. Emilion has shown some promise and might sneak a place. Of the others, Chart Oak showed debut promise but has ground to make up on Italian Romance based on their recent meeting. And it is Italian Romance that gets the call.
