      Verdict

      Miss Monica should prove too strong for the rest here and she is preferred to Prince Valentine and Ringarooma. The selection is dropped in grade after running a fair race in a handicap here last time. She has yet to win in 19 attempts but she looks to have been found a really good opportunity here and gets our vote. Prince Valentine remains a maiden at the age of five but he did run well here last time in a seller when second behind Primed Up. A reproduction of that effort would give him an obvious chance here. Ringarooma finished further down the field in that same race won by Primed Up but she is far from straightforward and may have to settle for a minor role. Return In Style may prove best of the remainder, but Miss Monica sets the standard and gets our vote.
