Verdict
Wicked Wilma won this last year but despite a disappointing August she's still 7lbs higher and will surely struggle to repeat the trick. Cayman Fox has refound her form since joining Linda Perratt but, while she's very speedy and hard to pass on ground with cut, this surface may enable the others to keep tabs on her before pouncing late. We're hopeful that SECRET VENUE can do just that having seemingly improved for the fitting of a visor last time. Providing the headgear works again he looks poised to strike over a course and distance that he relishes off a mark still 3lb lower than one he's won off before, with Paul Mulrennan's booking only increasing our faith. Arriva La Diva is a stable companion of Cayman Fox and gives connections a strong hand as she too won't be beaten by the track as she's three course and distance wins but quick ground would have to be a concern as it would be for Highland Warrior, while Lees Anthem may just find himself in the handicapper's pocket for the time being.
