Verdict
For LIfe and Mambo Spirit are best in at the weights, but the former is out of sorts and the latter hasn't raced since November. ANJOMARBA makes much more appeal as she scored in a handicap over C&D in May with today's rival Crystallize well beaten and Brett Johnson's filly can return to winning ways in this company. Efistorm has been running well at this level recently and picked-up a seller at Windsor last month, but it's hard to make a serious case for the remaining pair on today's terms.
