Beaten eighth of 14 when close behind Main Defender last month dropped down to 7f in a Grade 2; season-ticket holder here with five wins; this is a step down in class; generally in the habit of winning big races, most recently the SA Derby so could figure.

Verdict

MAIN DEFENDER is the pick of these. He looks sure to go well given his impressive course record and can show that a below-par effort last time was just a blip. Future Pearl has won over C&D while Atticus Finch has been running well in defeat of late, and Purple Pitcher is well drawn and warrants respect.
