Verdict
Plenty of old favourites on show here with Bay Of Islands, Fantasy Hill, and High And Mighty sure to have their supporters but preference is for Tender Trap who comes into this race on the top of his game and looks sure to go close after his fine effort on the Queens Prize. Court Shareef looks the main danger after his staying on second last time out and should be thereabouts.
