Verdict
CASTORIENTA is one of the more obvious choices. She's gone close the last twice now including over track and trip on her latest start and George Baker's filly gets the nod. Bold Spirit has failed to threaten on his recent placed efforts but Dynamo Walt and Three Pips finished closer to the winner when making the frame on the all-weather recently. Spreadable and Injaz could also go well in a run of the mill handicap.
