In depth
Verdict
Split Briefs has shown enough recently to suggest he can land a race of this nature, Kassulta and Rubenstar are the most likely dangers. The selection boasts some very impressive juvenile form, including a fifth behind Passage Of Time. She hasn't really reproduced that form since but has displayed enough ability to get the vote in this company. Kassuta has a bit to find on official ratings but is in good form and could run into a place at decent odds. Rubenstar looks the pick of the older horses and is tried today in first time headgear. This is not a race to get too carried away in as regards stakes, but Split Briefs does hold solid claims and she just gets the decision.
