Verdict
This looks competitive but it might pay to side with Opportune. The selection is closely weighted with Court One on a recent run and, to be fair, and both can go well. E Minor is well weighted on the best of her spring form but hasn't been running to it since. Ela Jay is another who holds claims on the best of its form. Henry Island likes it here and, if sparking, has claims. High Drama is another who has to be considered on the pick of his form. Of the others, Richard Hughes is an interesting booking for Runaway Star, while, formerly trained in Ireland, Almeida might have better to come at this trip. As we say, it's competitive but Opportune should give you a run for your money.
