Verdict
The question is whether or not to give Zafine another chance to redeem herself after failing to land the odds in her two outings so far. She looked all out the winner here last time until she drifted off the rail inside the final furlong and was just collard close home. Therefore Night Prospector is just preferred after his encouraging debut at Lingfield earlier in the month. Jamie Spencer was not over-hard on him once his chance had gone behind a potentially useful sort on his debut and should find a race of this nature is well within him judging from that outing.
