Verdict

C&D winner CK O'MARA remains completely unexposed as a stayer and proved his effectiveness away from the mud when fourth at Perth when last seen in April. There ought to be more to come from Mike Smith's 5-y-o this season and he earns the vote. Likeable mare Bollin Matilda, Coventry (back up in trip) and Anamanda are a trio of others to consider.

  1. CK O'MARA (IRE)
  2. BOLLIN MATILDA
  3. COVENTRY (IRE)
