An open feel to this contest and some form of a case could be made for all of them. In that instance, it may prove safest to side with the top-weight GOLDEN SPELL , who has two wins from four already. She was outclassed in a Group 3 last time but can prove up to this task. The 7lb claim from her rider also helps negate the concessions she is giving away. Solar Wave took another step in the right direction this week at Gowran Park and joins Sebastiano Ricci , who best effort came at Galway last time out, in presenting decent threats. T For Tango may fair best of the rest.
