Verdict

BLAIRS COVE loves it here and capitalised on his current mark to score over fences on Monday for a third course win. He is equally effective over hurdles and, having escaped a penalty, he looks the obvious call. Victarion has been absent since a successful switch back to hurdling in March, but he will be happy with similar conditions and a generous revised mark. Landofsmiles has produced two big runs on his last two starts and there is nothing wrong with the form. The shorter trip is a concern unless there is a decent gallop and the two known front-runners, Samsons Reach and Bobble Emerald, have been out of sorts.
