This looks wide open despite the small field and it may pay to side with SOUTHERN SAM. He shaped as if retaining his ability on the back of a lengthy absence when third over shorter at Ffos Las in December and, with the step back up in trip a likely plus, he gets the nod to build on that. Tide Times and Fuji Flight are others worth considering.
