In depth
Verdict
In the opener, Cuppacocoa, Ten For Oscar and Cantique make the short list, with the vote going to Cuppacocoa. Ten For Oscar put in an improved effort last time, although the bare form is nothing exceptional. The cheaply-acquired The Cool Sandpiper gets a mention because the breeding is ok and this is not a strong race. Cuppacocoa's Windsor third last time rates as solid so he looks a leading player today. Cantique didn't build on his debut over six furlongs here last time but, dropped back in trip today, better is expected.
