Verdict

It's hard to confidently rule out many of these - Back In Business, Jimmy Don and Just Be Lekker have run well previously over this C&D while a poor draw is a concern for the otherwise interesting Back In Business. However, ALMOND SEA looks the most likely winner. She is a leading player from a recent form standpoint (scored last month) and has a healthy career record.
