Verdict
Hi Fi gets the selection over Odagh Odyssey and Lustral du Seuil. The selection has won two from three races so far, including once over course and distance and might be able to concede weight to the field. Odagh Odyssey continues to knock at a door that must open one day while Lustral du Seuil, while a little disappointing so far, holds a good reputation in his powerful yard. Le Rochelais and Six Of One are others to consider but the vote goes to Hi Fi.
