Strangely for a turf race, nearly every horses is happiest making the running. It is hard to separate Rhetorical (second choice) and last year's winner Deterministic on form, with the former surely a lot better than their latest meeting, in which he became upset in the stalls. When a field looks so tightly matched, the 'stranger angle' is often the way to go from a value perspective - step forward the filly CLASSIC Q. She could not have been more impressive last time when recording a very fast time in the Grade 1 Just A Game Stakes against her own sex, but the allowance has proven to be valuable for fillies in races like this the world over; surely she is worth one go against the males, given the form she is in at present.
