BEST PROSPECT gets the nod with a positive jockey booking. Michael Dods' charge is very well handicapped and as he does all of his best work on the bridle, the hope is that being reunited with Shane Kelly will help; cheek-pieces are also tried. Nisaal should be ok now back up in trip, and he comes here in better form than Oriental Cavalier but he drops in grade. Beetuna needs a market check for his rookie trainer, whilst others to watch closely in the betting include Agapanthus and Edgeworth. The returning Astrodiva, along with Bajan Flash, whose second to Tobernea looks rock solid, are also to be considered in an open heat.
