Nakamura is our selection at Roscommon, and he is only a point behind the top-rated Breaking Dawn on our figures, so the rating gap is no barrier. His progressive profile and a fitness edge are what tip it for us, which matters over a testing eight furlongs on soft ground in a big field of 15. Breaking Dawn is the chief danger as the narrowly higher-rated runner, with Contrary To Law and Gypsy Queen also sure to be in the mix, though this is a competitive contest and our confidence is low. Nakamura gets the vote.
