Verdict

A wide-open contest indeed but the admirable BURREN VIEW LADY gets the vote. This 12-time winner continues to be a model of consistency and will surely run her usual solid race. Sheisdiesel is hard to win with but herself is very consistent and blinkers could eek out the little extra she often lacks to actually win. Guanabara Bay is one of several who are well treated on some of their best form but his is more recent than a lot so he rates a leading contender.
  1. Burren View Lady
  2. Sheisdiesel
  3. Guanabara Bay
