Not a lot to go on so the market should prove the best guide and in the absence of such information, we prefer Victor Trumper to Angeletta and Novista. The son of First Trump does not have any fancy entries but its a long way to come for the run and this does not appear to be the strongest of races. Angeletta is the obvious choice on the form book as the 74-rated filly has placed on her three most recent starts. Novista failed to build upon a fair effort at Goodwood but Mark Tompkins runners invariably improve for racing so there would be no surprise to see her thereabouts. Buccellatti was easy to back on debut and ran accordingly. Ella Woodcock has an interesting jockey booking and is duly watched in the market. Toggle can be expected to race towards the head of the field. Victor Trumper rates as the selection.
