In depth
Verdict
Eva Peron has rock solid turf form that sets a good standard in this opener. She was given too much to do last time out off a slow pace and it is likely that she will be kept more handy here on a surface which suits front runners. She gets the TEAMtalk vote with the obvious danger being French Gigolo. He improved last time to take a running on second at Newmarket last time and should be better here again. He may find the selection just too strong though on this occasion while another possible improver is Adventurist who was given a tough task first time out and will find this far less competitive.
