Flying Bantam, Rosie's Result and Flying Tackle are three against the field in another tough race to call for punters and the tentative vote is given to Flying Bantam. The selection was an unlucky in running fifth Carnivore, that form has since been franked and off what looks a fair mark he looks the one to be on. Rosie's Result rates the main danger as she won well last time when beating Strawberry Patch but this looks tougher and she looks vulnerable under her penalty. Flying Tackle has dropped to a handy mark and is another that could go well but all his best form is on stiffer tracks and he looks opposable on that basis. Dispol Kate ran as if returning to form when second last time out but has yet to win over this trip and for the winner we return to Flying Bantam.
