        In depth

        Verdict

        We will stick with The Sister here ahead of Omni Cosmo Touch and Just Jolly. The Sister has taken well to fences and can follow up here and land a three-timer. With his stable in such good form, Omni Cosmo Touch should put up a bold show. Just Jolly proved with his latest win that he of more of a stayer and he too can go well, while the injury-prone Fearless Mel and I'm For Waiting could represent the best alternatives from among those lower in the weights. However, overall, The Sister looks a worthy favourite and is the one to beat.
