Verdict

Walking Sunday is fancied to confirm his superiority over In The Park, while Kappelhoff has the measure of the likes of Poundsley Mill and can be a threat if he runs up to the form of his latest start. However, as that cannot be guaranteed, we prefer to look elsewhere for the winner. St Kilda would also have come in for a stronger mention were it not for a poor completion rate this season. Any rain will not be in her favour. In The Park is a lightly raced sort that should be capable of paying his way as he gains in experience. However, he is obviously no world beater and already has something to prove with the selection. Therefore, it can pay to stick with Walking Sunday, who has got his act together well over fences and, as he is at the top of his game at present, he looks the percentage call in a tricky race.
