Moving Earth gets the confident vote to win this claimer with Oulton Broad and Bustisu rating the main dangers. The selection is a fair sort at his best and although he has his own ideas about the game he was a fair fourth behind Lightening Star last time out. That form looks rock solid in the context of this race and under conditions that suit he will be hard to beat. Oulton Broad rates the main danger on his best form and he ran as if about to hit form again when fourth behind Outside Investor last time out. Bustisu is another worthy of respect as she won well last time out when beating Wild Tempo but that form has since been let down and she looks vulnerable off this mark. Of the others Majestic has the ability to go close but he has become disappointing of late however thus is his easiest task for a while he while Alvaro is from a yard in form and is another that could go well but for the winner we return to Moving Earth who sets a fair standard.
