Al's Alibi has been in good form of late, but was well beaten on his latest start and is yet to win over this trip, so may have to settle for a place at best. Or Royal has been a model of consistency this winter and should run his race, but it is difficult to oppose Broughtons Flush. This trip is ideal for him and he has notched a hat trick at the three different all weather tracks. He has a lot less mileage than some of these and the handicapper does not appear to have been too harsh, so the winning run looks set to continue.
