Verdict

ABUFFALOSOLDIER has made a fine start to his handicap career and his lightly-raced profile provides the hope for better still so he's the suggestion. Wakool really has thrived since stepped up to 3m and can fill the runner-up spot in this contest for the second year in succession. Salvino and Shearer complete the shortlist.
