A number have been running consistently enough in this grade without getting a ticket to the winner's enclosure. Pour L'Amour is an obvious example and is inching slowly down the weights to a level where she could finally get her head in front but a career record of 1-26 rather tells the story. She does have a good shout here though. The last two runs of Earthly bring him in consideration but CAMAKASI receives the vote despite the concession of weight all round. He's a hold-up merchant who needs things to drop right but has been in decent form in what have looked stronger contests and this could be the day if all works out for him. Kath's Legacy is dangerous on the back of two useful efforts, latterly under today's young pilot.
