This looks wide open. Cerveza Dinero has a chance at the weights but will probably do better on quicker ground. All The Way Home was in fine form at the turn of the year and something must have been amiss when she finished tailed off at Gowran in February. She can bounce back though the percentage call has to be COOLNAGORNA GIGGS. He's yet to win under Rules but his turn is surely not far away despite climbing the weights without winning. Count Salazar is probably better over fences and Mini Vic could also do better when returned to the bigger obstacles.
