Great to see grand veterans such as Confessional and Economic Crisis back for more, but the younger ONLY SPOOFING looks of greater interest having run better than his recent finishing positions indicate. He seems to be holding his form well. Ashpan Sam is respected despite his lack of previous success here, while Powerallied could prove a danger, especially if there is a drop of rain.
