Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Downtown Nashville
Downtown Nashville heads this small field on ratings, clearly ahead of Game Shadow and with only a narrow gap back from that one to Captain Mainwaring, and over this staying trip at Perth the form figures give him a tentative each-way claim. Game Shadow and Captain Mainwaring represent the chief dangers, particularly if either has improvement to offer on the day, while Dark Tide Rising is an unknown quantity without a rating to assess. On balance, Downtown Nashville is the call.
