Provided there are no jumping mishaps, and he has never fallen in 27 starts, then WONDERFUL CHARM should be too good for this field. Despite his narrow margin win last time, he toyed with the opposition and he looks like the likeliest winner on this card. Bear's Affair and Pearlysteps can chase him home. 1. Wonderful Charm 2. Bear's Affair 3. Pearlysteps
