Prolific winner Koybig has a line through several of these so deciphering their relative merits through a line with that horse should offer us some clues. LA CUMPARSITA may have the best claims having been unlucky behind him latest in the middle leg of his hat-trick. World's Greatest was just ahead of the selection there so she too should have a chance despite a wide-draw. Latchet hasn't met Koybig but has been running really well although she too has a very tough draw.
