Verdict

John Quinn took this race last year with Robema and can add another here with Violent Velocity; Goodbye Mr Bond and Mister Hardy head the list of dangers. Drawn in three, the selection comes here on the back of a fair third at York. That was on quick ground but he seems to handle all sorts of ground so the weather is not an issue, and although this mark of 79 demands a bit more, it may be folly to rule him out. Medici Pearl has had a good season but the widest draw of all is hardly a positive, so of more interest for punters may be South Cape who has been holding his own in better races of late and his Laa Rayb run looks good. The Kiddykid and Roman Haze know how to win here, whilst Mister Hardy gets some handy weight as a three-year-old and is unlikely to be far away from the plum draw of stall one. Barons Spy and Goodbye Mr Bond are both fairly consistent and each has solid claims from fair draws, and whilst My Gacho may bounce back to form with the stable going well, it is Violent Velocity who can lead them home.
