Verdict

Even Bolder has been going well enough on Polytrack but keeps getting beaten from this mark while Drakes Drum tackles the trip for the first time though he's been setting the pace over further and should be suited. VOLITO won a similar handicap to this over the C&D last summer and is only 2lb higher so gets the vote to complete a course double. Da Ponte has also won here and is 4lb lower but he's been running poorly and Silvee may have a better chance as she's been showing good pace over 7f before fading. Amazing Win's only success was from a 1lb higher mark and she's quite well handicapped on Turf so should give a good account.
