RACE COMMENT
ROMANEE (10) produced a good effort last week when beaten just a neck as runner-up, his second placing from his last three starts at this circuit and distance. Has to contend with a very wide draw but looks close to a win. Big chance with even luck. MONTEFIORE (6) drew the outside at his latest appearance and had to work so did well to finish within 6 metres of the winner. He is better served by this barrier having finished runner-up from a similar draw at this venue and distance prior. OZZIE PUNTA (5) draws wider than in his last few outings but hasn't been too far away here of late, going under by less than 3m last week. MR TEDDY (8) is another that might require luck from a wide draw but has hasn't done a bad job lately so should be included.
