2/1

Proved better than ever when winning 4-runner listed race at Windsor (11.4f, soft) 34 days ago, aided by run of race but showing a willing attitude all the same. More needed back up in grade, though.

Forecasts

Time Lock (13/8), Sea Of Roses (2/1), Place Of Safety (16/5), Mistral Star (4/1), Comic Book (10/1), Francophone (12/1), Divina Grace (14/1), Sinology (25/1)

The vote goes to TIME LOCK, who sets the standard judged on her impressive win in this race 12 months ago. Mistral Star has a progressive profile and warrants plenty of respect back at a more suitable level, with 3-y-o Place of Safety also of interest with further improvement on the cards.
