Verdict

Poitin and Sharjah hold few secrets at this venue and it won't be a shock to find either in the firing line when it counts but perhaps CAPE AGULHAS can land the spoils here. He remains low-mileage and ran a much better race here in March under a positive ride. His Limerick effort since can be overlooked on account of the ground. Royal Admiral and Exclusive Waters are others to consider.
  1. Cape Agulhas
  2. Poitin
  3. Sharjah
