Verdict

SMOOTH CHINO (2) continued his winning run with a 1.5L victory over this course and distance 21 days ago. This is tougher, but his ratings suggest he's up to this grade and with further improvement to come. Can sit handy again from a good draw and extend his unbeaten run. CESSATION (7) sat on the speed and was very impressive when winning a BM78+ at this track and trip a fortnight ago. She drops to the minimum off that win and rates highly. Can find the front from a good draw and will be very hard to run down. REPOSSESSION (1) was fancied in the Prince Of Wales and Colonel Reeves before tackling the Winterbottom most recently. He'll find this easier though, and he can put himself into the finish. OBJECTIFY (8) gets Pike in the saddle from a better draw today and is not to be discounted.
