Joe Jo Star, Arthurs Dream, Faraday and Steel Grey are to the fore of calculations and Faraday may be able to provide the answer. Joe Jo Star ran on well to land the spoils last time but he has a good record when fresh and it remains to be seen if he can reproduce that form on this quick reappearance; he's far from certain to confirm the form with third placed Steel Grey although he did run three good races in succession in 2006. Arthurs Dream deserves to win one of these but keeps finding a couple too good and is opposable. Tribiani would be of interest if she isn't friendless in the market which may also help decipher the claims of Faraday. The selection was well backed to win a similar contest over course and distance in August when with Barney Curley, he hasn't done a great deal since but we'll take a chance that the first time blinkers will light Faraday up this evening and enable him to produce an electric display.
