A small but competitive field goes to post for this classified race and all the runners would have a chance on there best form. Salsalino, Camile Pissarro and High Accolade are all worthy of the utmost respect but we prefer to side with Heisse. The colt from the David Loder yard won well when defeating Sahem on his debut. He is sure to have come on for the run and he will be hard to beat granted some improvement. Salsalino was a fair fourth behind Rocket Ship last time on ground that was softer than ideal and now he has his favoured faster ground he has definite place claims. Camille Pissarro finished just behind the leaders in a hot handicap last time but this looks even tougher. High Accolade was a fair third behind To The Rescue last time out and if he is fit enough to do himself justice on this his first run of the season he is another that should go well. Of the remainder Commission is held in high regard and he is sure to strip fitter here than he was on his debut this season when third behind Ikhtyar.
