Verdict

VOODOO ANGEL rates the pick of the weights on the back of her excellent recent C&D second so looks the way to go here. Vanilla Dancer also arrives at the top of her game so should ensure Donald McCain's mare doesn't have things all her own way, while handicap debutante Adaay Dancing can also have a say.
