Verdict

Joseph O'Brien has chosen Tigris River, a son of Montjeu and related to several winners, over Adelaide and Table Rock but that is certainly no guarantee he'll come out on top of the trio. Pat Smullen is on board Sailors Swan, who has more pace in his pedigree than most, while Ebanoran should prove best of the John Oxx pair though he's related to some smart middle-distance performers and should do better next year. Jim Bolger's filly KORBA is the second foal of a mare who produced a winning juvenile with her first and the daughter of Exceed And Excel gets the vote in a race where the market should tell us more.
