Another wide open contest here and again many have chances but the principals look to be Cape Royal,Johannes and Texas Gold and the narrow nomination is given to Johannes. The selection has dropped to a handy mark was a fair fourth behind Bentong last time out and under conditions that suit he looks a value bet. Cape Royal rates the main danger on his latest second behind The Jobber but he looks like he will be taken on for the lead and with this in mind he is opposed. Texas Gold looks sure to have the race run to suit and with his yard continuing in good form hr eill not be far away. Fantasy Beliver was a fair tghird behind Beachill Donna last time and is another with place claims but the draw could have been kinder. Of the remainder Matty Tun is another that looks on a handy mark and could go well at a price but in a race that throws up more questions than answers for the winner we return to Johannes.
