DANETIME PANTHER has been in good form of late, running well without being successful, and Paul Cole's gelding is taken to make a deserved success getting the verdict ahead of Risque Heights and Krugerrand. The last mentioned has probably found the ground too testing in his last two starts and Willie Musson's gelding should appreciate the return to this surface. Tom Dascombe's Rowan River has claims on the pick of his form but is an inconsistent performer, while Remember Ramon has struggled to find his form in the last couple of seasons and looks best watched. Afram Blue has a nice racing weight and should appreciate the return to this trip having seemingly failed to stay 1m4f last time. Jim Boyle's Risque Heights has dropped to a decent mark and has to be considered but it is hard to get away from Danetime Panther, who gets the vote.
