Verdict
#1 Osi Honour has not shown much through four runs, but the class drop is the key angle. His sixth two starts ago was a sound effort and came against stronger Class 3 opposition than this, which gives him a platform to improve. #2 California Star has been a model of consistency on the all-weather, but wide draws and a tendency to miss the kick have made it harder to win more than he has. Barrier 10 is another tricky gate, yet his turn-of-foot keeps him among the hardest to hold out. #11 Yoda's Choice has struggled to win in this grade, but the set-up is suitable, and from an on-pace position he can give a good account of himself. #5 Happy Universe was only fair in sixth last time, but his earlier runner-up finish behind California Star reads well, and that form has him right in the mix.
