Verdict

DREAM ILLUSION has proved better than ever on last 2 starts, making it back-to-back wins when scoring readily at this course 9 days ago, and she can cope with the drop back in trip in her current form. No Knee Never wasted no time getting back on track when runner-up here last time and could be the main danger, ahead of The Caribbean.
