PALISADES PARK is our preferred option with Waveband and Red Avalanche others for consideration. Richard Hannon's charge landed the odds in some style at Windsor on his third start having shaped with promise in two earlier outings. This is a tougher assignment tonight but the penny looks to have dropped. Mark Johnston's Waveband was easy to back on debut. There was a lot to like about his Hamilton run and he is sure to have come on significantly for the experience. Red Avalanche was outclassed in the Windsor Castle Stakes. Tonight's massive drop in grade offers a more realistic assignment. Virginia Hall made all to take a Windsor fillies maiden. This looks much tougher. Roodle was far from disgraced on introduction whilst Bazsharani is faced with having to put up a career best. Palisades Park is the pick.
