What we lean towardsopen race
Too close to split with conviction. City Of Gold just shades it from Leadlight on the size of its price drops.
Maiden over 1m½f on soft going. City Of Gold and Leadlight separate by very little. We rate 4 of the 6 declared; the other 2 lack enough recent form for us to judge.
