Verdict
The market will offer most clues here and CHOISHARP is our idea of the winner with Glimpse Of Light and Bridge Note the other names on the shortlist. The selection was not without promise on two starts last term and having been well supported on the last of the pair, he must have shown something at home beforehand. Glimpse Of Light has spurned apparently easier opportunities than this. She does not to have ran up to her lofty breeding. Bridge Note has to be respected from the Jeremy Noseda stable. At 250,000 US dollars, she has something to live up to. Bertie Vista will be the benchnmark that the assessor will use for handicap purposes. Jeremiah was only just denied at Folkestone having come under pressure at an early juncture. He was turned over at this track at very short odds in March. Royal Adelaide was easy to back on debut and ran accordingly. Mark Of Meydan already looks in need of further than the trip but there is a chance that if he takes to the surface, he will give supporters a decent run for their money. Choi Sharp is recommended.
