In depth

Verdict

FLYING DOCTOR ran well over these fences last month. He may not have looked like catching the winner but it's still the best form on offer in this and Alistair Whillans' charge gets the nod. Lady Of Verona has been placed here and should be sharper for her latest start at Perth while Bob's Ticket also has a shout on his third over track and trip back in May. Oh Right is better than his latest below par effort suggests though he would prefer a faster surface.
