The last race on the card but a fascinating three-year-old handicap and one that is packed with horses that look as though they can progress on what they have done so far. Intrepidly would definitely be one of that group but does have to defy an rise in the handicap and along with Valcartier has to concede weight all round. That factor may just tilt the scales in favour of CONTANGO as he bids to defend his unbeaten record and capable of further improvement. Of the others Shamrokh is the most interesting if he can be made to settle with Ray’s The Money looking one to treat with care even after his win last time out.
