Verdict

FLYIN' SOLO has been improving as his stamina has been drawn out and, given little went his way at Windsor last time, he's well worth a chance to regain the winning thread back up in trip on a conventional track. 3yos Saligo Bay and Oz Legend are unlikely to have reached their limit, so they can be regarded as the main threats in a competitive event.
