Sir Loin gets the vote over Mambazo, Ryedane and Dasheena. Sir Loin bounced back to form in first-time blinkers over the course-and-distance ten days ago, coming from just off the pace to collar One Way Ticket. The aids are left on again, and with regular pilot Danielle McCreery on board, he is taken to defy a rise in the weights. Mambazo has been successful over the track-and-trip in the past, but has been disappointing in the main. Nevertheless, any support for the Stuart Williams inmate should be heeded in a race of this nature. Ryedane is capable on his day but has topweight to overcome, while Dasheena has been placed on a couple of occasions. The frame may beckon again for that one, but preference is much for Sir Loin to follow up.
