Verdict

MOTHER OF PEARL looks a solid choice. She is going over a distance that has yielded success for her in the past. Lollapalooza has won over course and distance while Bird In Space is in with a shout, but does need to be forgiven a poor run last time, and there is a question mark over whether Silver Mensa will be effective over this trip.
