Verdict

SINCEREST has yet to make the three but she's beautifully-bred and her last two runs - fourth on both occasions when staying on late - suggest that she's going the right way. She really should be competitive off the bottom rung receiving plenty of weight from her elders and now sports first-time cheekpieces. Kosman only has one victory to his name but he's really consistent, deserving of topweight and his last two starts have indicated a win is close. Oneiroi and Han Solo are solid types in these contests and should be in the shake-up.
