Verdict

STORM MELODY was in too deep here last time but back down in grade in a veterans contest, there is every chance of bouncing back to the form he showed to win twice here this summer. If breaking better than last time George Dryden will be a threat while La Fortuna completes the short list.
  1. Storm Melody
  2. George Dryden
  3. La Fortuna
