Verdict

The suggestion is Dan Skelton point winner LIGHTENING MAHLER, with confidence in her chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Melusine de Pail has been placed twice in similar races and might be the one to profit should the selection fail to deliver. Bare Assets is another point recruit who could have a say.
