Verdict
On their respective runs behind the in-form Zama Zama last time, the mare FAITH JICARO probably just has the beating of Faustina Pius and can get back to winning ways. Worcester runner-up Who Am I isn't without a chance while Lord Of The Dunes was sent off favourite at the same track at the start of the month and may be capable of better. If It Be Your Will is unexposed but returns from a lay-off and his yard is struggling for winners at present.
