Shoudawoudacouda gets the confident vote here with Thehonourablelady and Flinders Bay rating the main dangers. The selection looks well weighted on his best form, hails from a yard in top form and under conditions that suit he looks the one to be on. Thehonourablelady rates the main danger on her best form but her best efforts of late have come over a shorter trip and she looks opposable on that basis. Flinders Bay has the ability to go close off this mark but has shown little of late so can not be put forward with much confidence. Wavertree One Off has only had two runs so has plenty of scope for improvement while Viennchee Run needs to improve to trouble the principals off this mark but for the winner we return to Shoudawoudacouda.
