It is hard to enthuse about any of these but Killer Class has the form in the bag this season and gets the vote ahead of Discanti and Mr Lu. The handicapper may have just caught up with the selection, but on saying that, this opposition have shown very little so far this campaign and Killer Class may be able to gain another victory. Discanti didn't do too badly at Southwell last time out and should improve for that effort. Meanwhile Mr Lu can be given a squeak on his final run of last season when third to Hamaadi. Handsinthemist and Curio are two others in with a chance on last season's efforts, but in a race that doesn't get the heart racing, Killer Class should prevail
