Verdict
Cuban Piece only landed a modest seller last time and looks vulnerable off topweight and with stamina unproven at this trip. He's also unlikely to offer much in the way of value as a McCain inmate in a poor race. Scriptwriter is hard to predict these days but Shooting Times would have solid claims if putting a poor effort behind him when last seen. His previous efforts were perfectly respectable in the context of this race and Lucy Alexander is a good booking. However, the choice is ONIZ TIPTOES. He's been in fair form of late in similar staying contests, receives weight all round and will have no problems with the trip round this idiosyncratic track.
