Verdict
Juarla and Steel Rain have shown nothing to suggest they can win this and the Motivator debutant, Loyal N Trusted, will surely need a longer trip to show his best. Wolf Slayer will probably blaze a trail from the front once again but those tactics could set the race up for LADY PLATINUM CLUB. The latter just failed to catch a Michael Jarvis-trained hotpot when runner-up over C&D last time and the subsequent win by the fourth placed horse gives the form a strong look. She can take this.
