Equilibria gets the confident vote here with Come What Augustus and Ghaill Force rating the main dangers. The selection was a good second on her debut behind Reaching Out, this looks easier and given nominal improvement she is impossible to oppose. Come What Augustus rates the main danger as he was a fair sixth on his debut behind First Fought and is sure to improve but the suspicion is he will be seen to better effect over a longer trip and for that reason he is opposed. Ghaill Force is another that could go well as he has shown a modicum of ability in three runs to date but he may be seen to better effect in handicaps. Of the remainder Lojo and Stunning Spark showed a little ability on the flat and are worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Equilibria.
