Verdict
Dealer's Choice gets a tentative vote here ahead of Malik, Bramlynn Brook and possibly The Sister and Silver Gift. The selection is back to near a winning mark if you factor in his good rider's claim so, in a tricky event, a case can be made for him. Malik is a course winner and holds claims on the basis of his best form of the last two years, while Bramlynn Brook is lightly raced and could conceivably be on a fair mark. The Sister is another to consider from a strong stable, although she has been a bit disappointing overall, while Blasket Sound remains consistent and Silver Gift is heading back towards a winning mark. In the final analysis, though, once again the selection is Dealer's Choice.
