Track: Good 4 Weather: Cloudy

El Castello has been outstanding this prep. Acid test from the wide draw but hard to knock and can make it four straight. King Of Thunder is drawn to do no work and is a big hope agains these. Red Aces should enjoy the further trip and maps for a lovely run. Loaded with upside and is right in this. Keeneland maps tricky but should give this a shake. Goldrush Guru is going well and is worth thought.

1. Mighty Ulysses (3)

Good win fresh and that form looks solid for this. Drawn well and can go on with things in this suitable race.

2. Another Wil (2)

Logical favourite. Expected more last start but the two wins prior are hard to ignore. Drawn well and perfect race to return to the winners enclosure.

3. Tamerlane (5)

Trials have been very good, drawn to camp off a hot speed and decent intent with the booking. Big chance.

4. Laws Of Indices (9)

Can’t have.

5. Jimmysstar (10)

Guilty of overlooking him this prep but he has come back much better. Flying, proven here and gets Shinn to negate the wide draw.

6. Ripcord (4)

Can’t have.

7. Nicolini Vito (7)

Consistent runner who goes well here but doesn’t win out of turn. Place chance.

8. Steparty (6)

Loves this track and trip so expecting good improvement off the back of a lackluster prep so far. Can win.

9. The Astrologist (11)

Can’t have.

10. Not An Option (8)

Prefer others.

11. Age Of Kings (1)

This looks too tough.
