Verdict

Despite being 10 years of age, the admirable TAKE COVER can roll back the years and win this race for the second time. He looked to be running into form when fifth behind Lady Aurelia last time. Goldream hasn't run at this level on turf for some time and could be a danger, as too could Cotai Glory who goes well at this venue. Penalised Final Venture cannot be completely ruled out, while improving Kyllang Rock may do best of the younger brigade in a cracking renewal.
