In depth

Verdict

Top weight Big Chill is well handicapped if able to find his form, while at the other end of the weight Fox Mint is of interest. Mallymkun and Princess Way are on feasible marks, but this could be fought out by Camiyra , Tulip Dress and HEDGING , with the latter getting a narrow vote given his winning form at this track and fair treatment by the handicapper. Jacksonfire is another to consider.
