Jayanjay is fancied to oblige now back on turf; One Way Ticket and the teenager Dancing Mystery make it to the shortlist. The selection is yet to win in 27 starts on the all-weather but Phillip Mitchell's gelding has a decent strike-rate on the turf and must be feared from a good draw. He would like the rain to fall, and if it does we may see him back in the winners enclosure. Dancing Mystery seems to have won at every track and a course and distance winner, Eric Wheeler's charge should be respected especially as he missed an intended engagement last week. Briery Lane is hit and miss but is a talented performer on his day, as is stablemate One Way Ticket who would be a danger if getting his own way in front. Jucebabe should like the ground and rates a threat, however it is Jayanjay who is fancied to land the finale.
