[Miss Marple]

Rain has stopped up here. I am going out to pull some weeds before it starts in again.

I pick Imperialism. Since the track is wet, I think that the field will perform differently, and I am impressed with the trainer, a 21-year old woman with a winning record of 26%. Also, I would be tempted to bet on Pollard's Vision, simply out of sentiment.
