        Verdict

        Sphinx gets the vote here ahead of Sand Repeal and Shamrock Bay. Sphinx proved at York two days ago that today's conditions hold no fear and he might be able to defy a penalty. He is also a course and distance winner. The course winner Sand Repeal is one of those that will handle the jiuce and, relatively unexposed at the trip on Turf, holds each-way claims. Despite having attracted money of late, Bukit Fraser has failed to live up to his billing, although he cannot be discounted here, while Shamrock Bay is one to consider stepping up in trip. The rest are fairly modest overall, it would seem, which spins us back to the selection, which is Sphinx.
