Verdict

Shantaluze looks sure to be on the premises again after his facile win here last time out, but may find the concession of a penalty to FLASH THE STEEL just a bit too hard. The selection was second in a race that's already working out well, and looks the one to beat. The Butcher Said is a riskier proposition but if settling better, might well take a big step forward. Not Normal is the other that enters calculations and can't be discounted.
  1. Flash The Steel
  2. Shantaluze
  3. The Butcher Said
