Grand View gained deserved victory last time and can follow up her today at the expense of A Teen and Izzet Muzzy. After running well on the all-weather the selection ran well in a Pontefract seller in March, finishing second to Bundy. He returned to Wolverhampton last week and duly slaughtered a modest field in a banded contest. Back on the turf there appears no reason why he shouldn't run his race again and he gets a confident vote. A Teen finished a fair way behind Grand View last time but does have a big turnaround in the weights, he should get a lot closer today and may get into the places. Meanwhile Izzet Muzzy has very strong claims on official ratings, but he has been out of form. If he gets back to somewhere near his best he will be a threat to all. Juwwi and Kumakawa have been running with credit over the winter and may do best of the others, but Grand View is at the top of his game and gets the vote.
