Verdict

We will take a chance on Holly Rose here ahead of Forest Tune, Kylkenny and Kalou. The selection ran well off a one-pound lower mark last time and, given that she won off a mark of 55 this time last year, her chance is there for all to see. By the same token, Forest Tune is eight-pounds lower than when scoring at May on good to soft, so he too comes into the reckoning, as does the fairly consistent Kylkenny who has place claims based on recent efforts. Kalou finished a couple of lengths behind Forest Tune last time and may be capable of better but, for today, we will side with Holly Rose.
