In depth
Verdict
A high draw could be the key to this and the frustrating Cd Europe is given another chance to exploit a beneficial stall position. He is holding his form well at present and has a good opportunity to expand upon his meager strike-rate. Quito and Ragamuffin could also figure strongly from those drawn high. Whilst Seel Of Approval will be hard to get past if he can force his way to the front of the far-side. Cd Flyer and Brevity also have place claims but more than a touch frustrating to follow.
