In depth
Verdict
Michaels Dream has proved a most consistent performer having won or been placed in no less than 12 of his last 14 starts and is handed the TEAMtalk nod under Kieren Fallon. James Hetherton's charge has little in hand over Warning Reef on last month's York form but the latter is on a long losing sequence and is worth opposing once again. Ashleigh Baker is another who seems difficult to win with and, although she will appreciate the ease in the ground, she has yet to prove that she stays this far while Middlethorpe may struggle to concede weight all round.
