Verdict
Rosencrantz has to most solid recent profile on offer and although he is not the most original selection, he will be hard to beat in this company. Justin Mac needs to find improvement as does Eden Dancer, whose last handful of outings have been woefully below par. So the most reliable each way proposition could prove to be Winn's Pride who meets Rosencrantz on much better terms than he did last time and he could be the one to take advantage if the ground is too fast for Venitia Williams' charge's liking.
