Verdict

This longer trip will suit RED ROCKS POINT, a runner-up at Gowran on his handicap bow when only headed close home. The Ballydoyle colt has plenty in hand at the weights with Cosmic Cannonball and Long Journey Home and can return to winning ways. A threat could come from Zafayan given he also has scope for improvement after running well at Down Royal when handicapping for the first time but Karl Kraus looks up against it.
