Judd Street holds solid claims here and is preferred over Intrepid Jack and Maltese Falcon. The selection finished narrowly behind Intrepid Jack last time out and is weighted to reverse those placings here today. The fact that the last mentioned is not the most consistent is another positive for our selection and as such we will put him forward to lead them home. Maltese Falcon has not won for over a year and although he shaped encouragingly last time he is difficult to put forward with any confidence. Treasure Cay goes well here and is another who would have strong claims on the pick of his form, but Judd Street has plenty in his favour and gets the vote.
