Verdict
Desert Light, Dellagio and Moltov are three against the field in a competitive opener and the vote is given to Dellagio. The selection won well last time out when beating Fox Covert last time out and although he has a penalty for that win he still looks ahead of the handicapper and from a good draw he his taken to win again. Desert Light rates the main danger on his latest second behind Blessed Place but is best form is over a longer trip and for that reason he is opposed. Moltov is another worthy of respect on his latest fourth behind Forest Dane. He looks well weighted on his best form and with his yard amongst the winners he could go well at a price. Orchestration is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he looks weight up to his best and he is passed over for that reason. Of the remainder Legal Set ran as if about to hit form last time out when a staying on fifth and is another to monitor in the market but for the winner we return to the in form Dellagio.
