RACE COMMENT
A stand start where the front row looks set to hold a key advantage. SETTEBELLO (3), SAPPHIRE GAMBLER (4) and ALBERIO (1) are all excellent beginners from the tapes and will look to take full advantage of their draws, as they have done successfully in recent starts. The 2090-metre trip can make it difficult for the backmarkers, with ROCKS ROY (8), ROLLWITHARTY (9) and IMPERIAL LAZ (10) clearly the class runners of the field, but they will need safe beginnings and to settle closer in running to be genuine winning chances. If they are able to land within striking distance, their class can certainly bring them into the finish.Selections SAPPHIRE GAMBLER (4), SETTEBELLO (3), ROCKS ROY (8), IMPERIAL LAZ (10)
