PICABO has raced just the once on Polytrack and finished a respectable third. She's not been at her best in better company on the turf of late but today's drop in class could spark a return to form and she gets the vote. Passing Stranger won her maiden at Folkestone in August and looks likely to improve again on her handicap debut, while Titus Gent could also figure despite a penalty for his recent C&D win. Six Wives has so far only won over the minimum trip, but Supercharged and Questionnaire are not without a chance in a wide-open sprint.
