Verdict

FIRST FLOW has an excellent strike-rate in the last 12 months and is selected to defy the handicapper again. Ann Hamilton has her small team in very good form so Old Roan winner Nuts Well promises to go well despite clear top weight. Marracudja is only 3 lb higher than when taking this 12 months ago so is another who could have a big say.
