Verdict

ELVOGUE (1) is a promising type who hasn't raced since finishing 7 lengths away in seventh over 1 ?m in Group 1 grade at this track on November 14. He is perfectly placed at this level fresh up, and is the one to beat. JERUSALEMA (6) returns from a break of nine months. He was a genuine performer last prep, and his most recent appearance resulted in a third over 1 ?m. Each way claims in this. SINJAR (2) finished fifth last time out over 1 ¼m. He has a good record over this trip, and he can give this a shake. HADDAR (5) was safely held when resuming last start over 1 ¼m at Group 2 level, finishing sixth. He will find this much easier, and he is not to be discounted. Top 4 value.
