Verdict

SOUTH STREET is more proven over this trip than a few of these and a breakthrough success at this course could be on the cards. Boys Code is capable of a big run at this level and rates as the main threat to the selection, while Break The Ice is another who enters calculations.

Verdict

Several have solid chances but BERNT AGAIN (second) has the most consistent recent profile and she is taken reestablish her superiority over Orange Freeze (winner) after they met here last month. The selection was forced wide that day and a more conventional route could prompt a turnaround in the form. Silver Skillet rates as the best of the rest.
