Looking through this contest it’s not hard to find some protagonists with erratic form who are capable of blowing hot and very cold. C&D winners Little Windmill and Gamain would be good examples of that category in this race both coming here off the back of a well below-par performance although the former has bounced back from poor runs before. Exxaro now resides on a tempting mark given some past performances but he to needs to bounce back along with My Reward who hasn’t convinced back over fences. FIFTY SHADES is by elimination the safest prospect any of his last three runs, if repeated, being good enough to win this.
