Verdict
CATFISH and filly RUBY WHISPER have the form and experience to fight out the finish, but the former could have the edge with the aid of his rider's 4kg allowance. COUNT OF CAPRI and SKIZZLE DRUM will know more about it after satisfactory introductions so could improve to have a say in the finish. However, newcomers JUSTHAVEFUN and TWILIGHT could pose more of a threat, especially if the market speaks in their favour. Watch the betting.
