Just the three horses and PICTURE EDITOR is the clear one to stand out and gets the call. He won on debut and ran on well in the finishing stages to suggest this trip should be suitable. The ground may not be ideal for any of them, so Picture Editor gets the vote despite the heavy conditions. Arctic Myth has hardly impressed in his runs so far and would need to find a lot more to even get close. Hurricane Guest is an unknown quantity but the trip should be suitable given the pedigree and he is sired by the outstanding Hurricane Run who won the Arc and King George. However, Picture Editor is the selection.
