Verdict

It is perfectly possible that LOVELY TOUCH could improve again to take this. On the whole this seems a weak race and though he has to carry another penalty, he keeps seeming to win with something in hand. He is the selection, ahead of Short Flight, who could improve for a sounder surface, and Kara Tara.
  1. Lovely Touch
