In depth
Verdict
Bishops Court is a classy performer, but he will need plenty of luck from his low draw, while the progressive Little Edward, is another who has been done no favours by the draw. The speedy Sunley Sense has hit form with a vengeance and from a favourable draw, must take plenty of pegging back. Proud Native didn't need to be at his best to beat Cyclone Connie last time, but that filly has gone on to frank the form and the old timer looks sure to run well. Toldya, Get Stuck In and Kathology are others to consider.
