Some classy types on display with this being the feature race on an interesting card on the Polytrack with the winner of this race for the past two years GRANDISAR returning in an attempt to make it three-in-a-row. He’ll need a decent pace to run at but given that his trackcraft could see off the likes of Arab Spring and Decorated Knight who are both talented performers but they do return from breaks here and will need to be at their best first-time out. Battalion can’t be left out of the mix although this rather quirky performer does need everything to fall just right for him. 1. Grendisar 2. Decorated Knight 3. Arab Spring
