        Verdict

        Several look pretty exposed including Matamua, who gets a change of headgear and is weighted to beat the likes of Canzone, Stroxx and Tantastic. An import from Ireland, Tilia Cordata debuts for new connections as does Clear Angel and both have their first start of the year. But this won’t take much winning and NAVAL CAPTAIN, who can include useful sprinter Invasion Day among four winning relatives gets the vote.
