Verdict

BATTAASH has been very impressive this season, getting better with every start, and he produced a classy performance last time, putting the race to bed with a devastating turn of foot. Lady Aurelia would have a big chance if the ground dries out to anything like good-to-firm. Many of the others are held on recent form but there's a suspicion Marsha hasn't been quite at her best on recent starts and it would be no surprise if she was in the first three home.
  1. Battaash
  2. Lady Aurelia
  3. Marsha
