In depth
Verdict
The obvious choice here is for Court Music who is running in the best form of her life at present however she is untried on firm ground so TEAMtalk preference goes to Summer Shades who has won and run well on very fast ground in the past. He ran well last time out and now has the assistance of a stronger apprentice. Theatre Lady is another who has shown form on firm ground and is fairly consistent. A string of hard luck stories suggests she may lack a kick in a finish.
