Verdict

Alistair John, Granakey and Cree are the three to look at here and Cree is taken to come out on top. Alistair John had been campaigned over longer trips before being dropped back in distance to score last time. That was a much improved performance and he can go well again here, although he may not be the most consistent of types. Granakey seems less exposed than some of her rivals and has been placed in her last two starts in similar contests. She looks set to pick up a race of this nature soon. Cree has been placed five times this year without winning but arguably this represents a drop in grade and this looks a good opportunity for him to get his head in front. Cree gets the vote.
