Verdict

HOT COCOA (3) is having her first run for the new stable but should find this easier than what she faced on debut and has revved up for this with a recent dominant trial victory. Should be right there when the whips are cracking. BOOM BUNNY (4) was too bad to be true last time out but the two placings prior to start the campaign were full of merit. Can bounce right back without surprising. VALADORE (8) has placed over this course and distance and will be rock-hard fit for this. In the mix. SMALL TOWN HUSSLER (2) resumes from a lengthy spell but has placed when fresh before and gets the services of Wiggins on board from the inside alley. Include in calculations. WE US 'N' CO (7) best of the rest while fresh.
