Saint Emilion looks the leader of this one. RASA LILA resumed well with a Group 1 placing in the Windsor Park Plate. The mare will have taken good improvement from the outing and possesses a solid second up record. She is also reunited with Leith Innes who possesses a strong record in partnership with the mare. MIME also comes out of the Windsor Park Plate in which she finished second. The mare will need a few favours getting across from a wide draw but if Coleman can plot the right path, the daughter of Mastercraftsman should be in it for a long way. Not a very strong field at all and in a very weak year this race could throw up all sorts of shocks as the depth simply is not there at G1 under WFA. How this track is presented will be bias pivotal. There is plenty of pace and pressure so may be last horse standing as every rider surely fancies their chances owing to the race having no standout whatsoever. The hype horse HASSELHOOF has picked the right year to kick sand in their faces on the Bay beach. Bred to swim. Can move into this across the top and beat a very modest lot. RASA LILA a top tier must in an average year. HUMIDOR can measure up as the lack of genuine depth plays into his hands. May well be the celebratory cigar afterwards. Authentic Paddy will be right there throughout and can swim if need be. Willie Cazals is a 9yo that has not won since April 2013. Scarily he is a threat against these. Benzini could be the training effort of the year. Celebrity Miss is massive overs. SUGGESTED PLAY: Straight out Rasa Lila. She looked good on resuming.
