Kilmeena Magic, Expected Bonus and Iceni Warrior are three against the field in another tough race to call for punters and the narrow vote is given to Expected Bonus. The selection has dropped to a very handy mark and ran as if returning to form when fourth behind Revolve last time out he looks sure to have the race run to suit and looks a value bet in an open affair. Kilmeena Magic rates the main danger on his beest form but he has yet to win over a trip this far and is taken on with this in mind. Iceni Warrior is another that could go well on his latest fifth behind Artzola, that form has since been franked and he should be closely watched in the market. Mikimoto is from a shrewd yard and could improve for the step up in trip so should be noted in the market.Wind Chime is becomming hard to win with and with this in mind for the winner we return to Expected Bonus.
