Green Park was unlucky last time but his high draw will make life tough for him; Princess Ellis and Supermassive Muse could therefore be of more interest and we will side with SUPERMASSIVE MUSE as the pick. The selection is the only course and distance winner in the field, and being by Captain Rio he will relish these ground conditions. He will need some luck from stall 6, but nonetheless he looks the one to beat. Princess Ellis has the best of the draw in stall 1 but all her best form is on a quicker surface and for that reason she looks opposable today. Green Park will love the ground and he was denied a clear run last time out, but he will need to get a few breaks to win from stall 9. Fire Up The Band has gone well here in the past but he looks to be on the decline, and we will side with Supermassive Muse as the one to be on.
