Verdict
Miss Holly, Galantos and Nayodabayo are three against the field in this competitive staying race and the nomination is given to Miss Holly. The selection has been in good form of late and was a fair second behind Maria Antonia last time out; that form looks rock solid and off the same mark here she looks the one to be on. Galantos is another that could go well on his latest fifth behind Dream Mountain; he is sure to have come on for the run and, with his yard in form, he should be noted in the market. Nayodabayo was second behind Tioga Gold last time and is weighted to beat that rival here so he has definite place claims. Tioga Gold is in form but looks vulnerable under his penalty. Of the outsiders, Dan's Heir could go well at a price now a professional takes over from an apprentice but, for the winner, we return to Miss Holly.
