Verdict

It is hardly surprising to see the Elliott and Mullins camps fielding strong teams in this. The Longwood team have Rapid Escape spearheading their raid and it would surprise few if he should maintain his unbeaten record. He has struck up a good partnership with today's rider and is closely matched on form with Wille Mullins' main hope Blackbow. Brace Yourself was highly impressive when scoring in lower grade as was RHINESTONE. The latter is a son of High Chapparal who was the subject of highly positive reports ahead of his debut in a three-runner event. That race turned into a mess tactically, but no mistakes were made next time when easily disposing of a well-supported rival. He may possess more natural speed than most in this so that makes him a serious contender and excellent value in the ante-post market.
