Verdict

Picacho gets the confident vote in this mares only race with Just Smokie, and Ban Dubh rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating Commemoration Day with a little in hand, this looks eaier and despite her penalty under conditions that suit she is hard to oppose. Just Smoke rates the main danger on her latest third behind Annie's Answer but all her best form is over a longer trip and she is taken on with this in mind. Ban Dubh was a moderate fourth behind My Turn Now last time , this looks easier and she could run into a place. Of the remainder Jaunty Flight is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is hard to win with and for the winner we return to Picacho who will be hard to beat.
