Verdict
Recent winners Stagnite, Kallista's Pride and Feminist could fight out the finish here and we will side with the first named. The selection held on well to beat Jasmine Pearl in a tight finish at Brighton last time. That victory was long overdue and now he has remembered how to win he looks well worth following again on he track he likes. Kallista's Pride beat comfortably beat Ballybunion at Folkestone last time and has also shown plenty of ability here at Dunstall Park. She is well in on official ratings and looks a big threat to the selection. Feminist won over course and distance last month and as a three-year-old gets plenty of weight from her main rivals, she should be in the shake up. Paddywhack can go close on his best form and looks the pick of the others, but is Stagnite shows the same attitude this afternoon as he did last time he will be hard to pass.
