Silverware is weighted to go close on today's terms but has posted woeful efforts in both starts this year while Dialogue also has a shout but ran well below par behind MONSIEUR CHEVALIER in a claimer here in January. A subsequent winner has come out of that race so Jamie Osborne's charge looks worth sticking with. Prime Exhibit is best in plating company nowadays but is facing a tough task at the weights this time and Glennten and Filosofo make more appeal.
