Verdict

As is so often the case with this bumper, a sizeable field packed with winning point form and the market will no doubt offer up plenty of clues. WISE MAIDEN has a good pedigree and having easily landed her second start in point bumpers, earns the vote. College Road and Laugusto are also shortlisted.
