AI Verdict

EIGHTEENTH SMILES tops the bill, backed by consistent progress in his last six starts, including a recent win. His freshness (22 days off) and O'Brien's touch on turf add to his appeal.

Cudawudashuda, fresh from a fourth (4 days out), poses the next threat, though his form lacks the same upward trajectory. Shesthedevil, a filly with a recent victory but a longer layoff (16 days), could trouble if she fires early.

Tio Joao, from Robson Aguiar's stable, has shown improvement but remains unproven over this sprint distance. Cloughleagh Bridge, Honey Deuce, and Somethingaboutlove lack the recent form or class to challenge seriously.

A wide open race, but Eighteenth Smiles stands as the most likely winner.
