Verdict
SAVE THE BEES has made all in his last three starts and won by narrow margins. The assessor hasn't been too hard on him and he can complete a four-timer. Archie's Advice is 7lb higher than when scoring on soft ground at Hamilton in May but further rain would see him in a better light. Correggio won a York handicap last month and ran quite well from a 5lb higher mark back on the Knavesmire recently while the more rain the better for Sophisticated Air, whose three career victories have all come on ground with plenty of give.
