There are a lot of newcomers in this event and a couple of them have impressed in their work, including EXCEL DELIGHT. The John Size-trained galloper looked good in a recent dirt trial and being drawn high whilst not as “hot” as previous seasons is still better than drawing low. MULTIMILLION impressed at his debut and with natural improvement plus the application of the cheek pieces, he will definitely make his presence felt. He should position just to the inside of Excel Delight with both racing on the speed. BUMBLE BABY has more upside and can figure once again with his record down the straight course (8:2-2-0) reading well. JIMSON THE DRAGON is another that makes some appeal based on his work and trials and might be worth a small speculator at a big price. Overall however it’s not a race to bet a significant amount into given the lack of raceday form. I’m happy that Excel Delight though is worth having a small win outlay on.
