A wide open contest rounds off the card and there is very little between many of the leading lights but the principals look to be Tilsworth Charlie, Perlachy and Elusive Dreams and the narrow vote is given to Tilsworth Charlie. The selection was a fair second behind Desert Light last time out remains on the same mark and from a fair draw he looks a value bet. Perlachy rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Blackheath but he is hard to win with. Elusive Dreams has dropped to a handy mark and if he were to bounce back to form would be a danger to all but he has shown little of late so cannot be put forward with much confidence. Tyrannosaurus Rex is another that has dropped to a handy mark but he has been done no favours by the draw. Of the remainder Diksie Dancer hails from a yard in form but may need the run after a 195 day break and with this in mind for the winner we return to Tilsworth Charlie who ran so well last time out.
