Verdict

My Mirasol, Hill of Lujain and Animated look the ones on paper to be siding with and we are with My Mirasol. Kevin Ryan's charge did not look the hardiest of battlers in a finish but there is every chance that he can scrape a victory in what does not look to be the trickiest of contests. Hill of Lujain probably lost his race at the start when swerving violently at Beverley. Mick Easterby's charge is drawn to the right of the track again so connections will be hoping that a repeat showing is not made here. Animated is closely related to useful sprinter, Trinculo. Dandy Nicholls is not noted for too many early season sprinters but the market is watched in case of any support. Fathom Five was a cheaply bought colt who is related to juvenile winners in Italy. Danni Di Guerra is bred to appreciate further and is watched this afternoon. Picture Frame ran well from a poor draw on his latest start but is exposed at selling and claiming grades. Not a strong race but My Mirasol has obvious claims if reproducing the form of his two previous runs.
