MARIE'S ROCK won well on last season's reappearance and will be a tough nut to crack if close to her best. Dashel Drasher was behind the selection on the two occasions they clashed last season but is probably still the main threat given that Paisley Park, running in this for a fifth time, has a Grade 1 penalty for his Long Walk win last Christmas.
