Verdict

WESTERN CLIMATE may be too well-handicapped for the rest of this field considering the form of his latest win has been franked in emphatic fashion by the runner-up since. Justification is another who could potentially be ahead of his mark and the yard are in flying form while Royal Guardsman has some useful course form and ought to give a good account.
