Verdict

Baby Bonnett gets the confident vote here with Buffy and Quarry Island rating the main dangers. The selection was a good second behind Kitty Wong last time out. That form has since been franked and as he looks sure to cope with this softer ground he will be hard to beat. Buffy rates the main danger as he won well last time out when beating Canadian Sunset but that was on a fast suface and he looks vulnerable under his penalty on this softer ground. Quarry Island is another worthy of respect on his latest sixth behind Fly Kicker. His stable are now back amongst the winners and off a handy mark he should be watched in the market. Morning Roses disappointed for no apparent reason last time out so can not be put forward with any confidence. Of the remainder, Paradise Expected is unexposed and could improve but her overall profile leaves her with a little to find and for the winner we return to Baby Bonnett.
