      Verdict

      Course and distance winner, MADAME BOUNTY , may be the one worth siding with if she handles the softer conditions. Storm Over is still entirely unexposed and arrives bidding to defend his 100% record; it'll be interesting to see whether he can handle the softer ground he will encounter here. Ladweb is one who is sure to appreciate conditions and he may be able to run into a place off what looks like a stiff mark.
