Lady Sorcerer gets a speculative nomination ahead of Urban Warrior and Hadron Collider. A number of the others are quite closely matched, but it would be a good idea to note any market moves at fancy prices amongst the remainder. Act Three being one in particular that has very little to prove at this level. Hadron Collider has a couple of respectable efforts to his name at this course, so has nothing to fear from the demands of the surface. He has been struggling off his current mark, though. Urban Warrior has a good record of making the frame and, having gone well when fresh in the past, he merits serious consideration today. However, Lady Sorcerer looks a touch better treated in the handicap and, as she has dropped a few hints that her turn is not too far away, the daughter of Diktat just gets the nod in the finale.
