Verdict
Raw Silk is on a roll and in his current frame of mind there seems to be no reason to oppose him. His trainer had his best season to date last term and he looks to have, barring accidents, found his charge an ideal opportunity to continue his winning run. Sunday Rain and Star Dynasty look booked for a scrap for second place at best.
