WEATHER FRONT has won twice over course and distance this year, including his latest start with Cadeau Magnifique back in third. A 4lb rise may not be enough to anchor him today. Frown continues to threaten without winning and drops back down a grade and Royal Shaheen has been competing at a higher level without success. Caramuru has a shout back down in distance and Pretty Passe is not badly treated on last year’s best form.
