Verdict

Defeats on his last 3 starts shouldn't be taken to suggest CASTLE COVE's progression has come to a halt and he's taken to deny Lord Melbourne back-to-back wins in this race. Hopewell Rock, Insanity and totally unexposed 3-y-o Master Vintner are a few of many others to consider in a typically competitive finale to the Flat season.

  1. CASTLE COVE (IRE)
  2. LORD MELBOURNE (IRE)
  3. HOPEWELL ROCK (IRE)
