Cameron Bridge should be too strong for his rivals here and he is preferred to Winsley and Phar City. The selection has not been out since October and he has failed to complete on each of his last two starts. However, the simple fact is that he has the best form on show here and if he runs up to his best he will be hard to beat. Winsley unseated his rider last time but he ran a fair race when second behind Full House previously and he will relish tonight's ground conditions. Phar City is another that failed to complete last time and although he has ability he has not won a race for four years so on that basis the percentage call is to take him on. Young Thruster ran well last time and has solid each-way claims tonight, but Cameron Bridge has plenty in his favour and can land the prize.
