Verdict

As is to only be expected, many of these three-year-olds are open to a bit of improvement and can be placed to good effect as the season progresses. For now, however, SUITCASE 'N' TAXI appeals as a punter's choice to over come a wide draw and take a further step forward to better things. His stable has been under a cloud, so Intense Romance, who is closely matched with the selection, is also worthy of consideration on these terms. Yarmouk edges the verdict from those drawn towards the far rail, while Mont Royal has plenty of scope for improvement and would also be very dangerous to overlook completely.
  1. Suitcase 'n' Taxi
  2. Intense Romance
