Piccolo Express may figure if he's in the mood and Hoppy's Flyer is another inconsistent sort capable of figuring in the finish on a going day. Silly Billy was still well beaten despite finishing third last time and Ioannou hasn't raced since January but may have improved in the interim. SLEEK doesn't have that much to find on only her second start handicapping and with plenty of scope for improvement, Marco Botti's filly gets a tentative vote.
