Despite the different conditions to deal with, DA BABA ELEPHANT looks the safest option in a race where most of the contenders have some sort of question asked of them. He won with a bit of authority last week and has been found a suitable opportunity to double up. Copperfacejack keeps on finding something too good for him but should be in the mix again. Benefit Of Luck might be the one for the bronze.
