Not much to go on in this opener and the prospect of further rain makes it even more of a lottery. THE DUKKERER was slightly disappointing last time but Kieren Fallon keeps the partnership intact and she makes more appeal than the others with experience in Toboggan Star and Geniusinrhyme. The newcomers look nothing special on breeding but Kevin Ryan's yard have a better strike rate with two-year-olds at this track than the opposition so Missouri Spirit is preferred to Maid In Rio and Les Gar Gan.
