Verdict

GO SILVER BULLET looks hard to oppose over this trip despite a seven pound mark rise so we won't with Lucinda Russell's charge taking our preference ahead of Flaming Heck and Raysrock. The selection, and likely short priced favourite, was a comfortable enough winner of a similar race last time over this trip, which the grey holds a decent strike rate. He obviously has more to do with the extra weight on his back but he should handle that just fine. Flaming Heck was also a winner last time out against similar opposition and while that was also comfortable this trip looks to be on the sharp side for him. Raysrock has to concede weight all around but his mark looks fair especially taking a big step down in class here. At his very best he should be well in contention but the trip looks prohibitively short. After these three it's difficult to make a strong case for the anything else though Smart Cavalier could run a big race at a bigger price but either way he should be no match for the pick Go Silver Bullet.
