Verdict

Sergeant Scultz is selected here ahead of Jazrawy and Mister Right. From his revised mark, Sergeant Schultz got no sort of a run until it was too late here on Saturday and he is taken to resume winning ways today. Jazrawy just keeps on winning and is bidding for a sixth-straight win today. He is nine pounds above his previous best winning mark, though, and his best all-weather form has come away from here. You can certainly build the case for Mister Right and Prime Contender, while Cool Hunter could be given a shout if getting back to his 2006 Turf best. Dzesmin is also on a Turf winning mark, while the Irish raider Dryandra should maybe be watched in the betting. Overall, though, the vote stays with Sergeant Schultz.
