Verdict

Dove Cottage should prove too good for the rest here and is preferred to Will The Till and Wilderness Bay. The selection is game and consistent and he won well over this course and distance last time when beating The Fonze. He has his fast ground again today and should take plenty of beating. Will The Till finished in mid-division here last time but the booking of Kieren Fallon catches the eye and on his best form he would not be far away. Wilderness Bay is lightly-raced and has been off the track for nearly a year so the market may provide the best gauge for the chance of this filly from Ireland. Jackie Kiely is a course and distance winner but may be a little high in the weighs at present and in an open contest Dove Cottage is nominated to lead them home.
