ROBIN THE TILL should be the best horse here by far but this is his first attempt on polytrack so caution is advised while Volito and Christmascametwice should also go well. The selection returns to action after 225 days off and his form on turf is pretty strong. Many of the horses from his last time out solid effort in a much better race are now highly rated racers and based on that he should have the talent to take this. Volito is a rare entry on the level for Jonjo O'Neill and after a decent enough racecourse debut the booking of Jamie Spencer to ride is eye-catching. Christmascametwice was also solid on debut despite running a little green. As longs as he's learnt from that he should go well again. Tallulah Sunrise has had a few decent chances to break the maiden and this looks tougher than recent assignments though at her best she should be in the mix. Both new comers don't look anything out of the ordinary so we side with turf form and Robin The Til.
