Amantha, our selection at a rating of 69, is the only runner in the field with a win already banked, having landed a seller over today's trip last time, and she looks fairly treated as she steps up into handicap company off that mark. Farndale, who needs to bounce back from a below-par latest effort, has more encouraging form from earlier in the season and is the chief danger. Happy Humpo and Emerald Bay both have to find more on what they've shown so far, but with cheekpieces added for the first time to each, both could take a step forward and cannot be dismissed. On balance, Amantha's proven form and fair mark give her the edge in a race that lacks strength in depth.
