Parkview Love gets the vote over Binnion Bay, with Kasumi and What Do You Know the other main contenders. Parkview Love has been placed on a number of occasions lately, and it is his form with Binnion Bay that makes him the one to be on. Derek Shaw's charge beat the last-named when they met over a mile on the Polytrack here in March, and since then has seen that one's backside twice. However, he is now much better off at the weights, and with the able Margeret Morris on board, can turn the tables on Brian Ellison's charge. Binnion Bay has been profitable to follow on the all-weather since the turn of the year, having won four times in all, but has not raced on Turf for two years, and this trip is a bit on the short side for him. Kasumi has to give weight away to the principals and lacks a run, while What Do You Know has a tendency to find one to good. At the weights, Parkview Love has the best claims.
