Verdict

DUBAI HONOUR proved he's still capable of very smart form in Australia over the winter and sets the standard down in grade. Plage de Havre and Too Soon arrive on the back of winning strong handicaps and they will pose the biggest threats.

  1. DUBAI HONOUR (IRE)
  2. PLAGE DE HAVRE
  3. TOO SOON
