Verdict

El Coto, Mandarin Spirit and Buy On The Red are three against the field in a wideopen finale and the vote is given to El Coto. The selection was a fair second behind Dig Deep last time out, that form looks solid and off the same mark here he looks the one to be on. Mandarin Spirit rates the main danger as he won well last time when beating Prince Dayjur but he will find this tougher under his penalty. Buy On The Red is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is becomming hard to win with. Of the remainder Gifted Gamble is on a handy mark but for the winner we return to El Coto.
