Hatamoto shaped well at Ripon last time, setting the pace and only getting overhauled in the closing stages from a mark a pound lower than today; his yard excels at this course and he has the profile to get off the mark at this level. Amber Hamur is the danger to watch — consistent on the all-weather, her breeding points to her flourishing at this distance on turf. Mali Star is excused his most recent effort over a longer trip and rates a solid each-way threat back at a mile. Hatamoto is our pick.
