Verdict
ANOTHER TRUMP seemed on a downward curve until emerging from an absence to claim a smooth success here last month in a similar contest. His inconsistent profile requires supporters to tread carefully but he did the job so comfortably that he is awarded the vote here. North Island was another who lost his way last winter and, although useful at best, is likely to need this run conceding weight all round. Global Flyer looks sure to develop into a solid handicapper for the Bailey team and should be in the mix again, whilst High Jack is on a fair mark. Chorizo and Oniz Tiptoes are frequent visitors her and should not be ruled out either.
