Verdict
Multiple course winner Shadowtime can include this race in 2010 among his successes but he's high enough in the weights now judged on this season's efforts. Litttle separated Robert The Painter and Kalk Bay at York last month and the latter has subsequently run well again in better company at Carlisle. Gold Show would prefer faster ground but Cono Zur is back on a winning mark and may revert to his more usual front-running tactics today. DAME NELLIE MELBA showed her first worthwhile form at Doncaster recently when encountering fast ground for the first time. She gets the vote to open her account on her handicap debut with further progress on the cards
