Verdict

Looks a wide open affair. BLACK OPIUM (11) has placed two from two around this circuit and will be ready to peak now fourth-up from the spell. Rodd sticks in the saddle following that last-start placing and should prove very hard to toss. WHO ORDERED DAFISH (6) has been plying his trade in town of late and is sure to find this task a touch easier. Will be rock-hard fit for this and rates a serious contender. PIREONTI (5) has won two of her past three and it's hard to knock mares in form. Top-three candidate. ABLE SEAMAN (9) gets the deadly Gollan/Orman combination and can improve enough to feature in the finish. The well-related HALF LISTENING (3) (half to G2 winner Not An option) looked handy winning on debut and shouldn't be discounted.
