Verdict

Cases can be made for many horses but it could be worth siding with the three-year-old FIFTH POSITION in this listed contest. The gelding looked to be a non-stayer last time but remains unexposed for a powerful yard whose high-class middle distance horses tend to improve each race. Elarqam remains highly regarded by his connections and has the capability of landing a group race in the future but is likely to be hampered by his 3lb penalty, while Extra Elusive could go close if replicating his previous Sandown form. Royal Line is likely to need the run and the forecasted conditions are a worry.
  1. Fifth Position
  2. Elarqam
  3. Extra Elusive
