Verdict

RIZZARDO produced a good time when winning here in November and might have found his next run coming too soon. He's taken to resume winning ways refreshed by a break. Faustinovick has been holding his form well this season and can fill the runner-up spot again, while Ecossais has already won twice here this term and should give another good account.
