Several of these are better than this level of competition, including SON OF REST. He's clearly progressing, unlike most of these, and finished off last season with a pair of fine efforts in Group 2 and then Listed company. There's no reason he shouldn't improve again off a fair mark and in conditions which should suit to use this a stepping stone to tougher races. Downforce is another who ran well in Group races last season, while Medicine Jack is one to consider on his best form.
