Verdict

It could pay to focus on the pair at the head of the weights, with marginal preference for FIRSTMAN over Cursory Exam having strung a couple of excellent races together of late. Of the rest, Forgetmenotblue is not yet fully exposed for her top yard so warrants consideration.

  1. FIRSTMAN (FR)
  2. CURSORY EXAM
  3. FORGETMENOTBLUE (IRE)
