Another tough race to call here for punters and as usual the market will prove a good guide but the principals look to be Mujazafa, Sri Lipis and Bravemore and the vote is given to Mujazafa. The selection was a fair third on his debut last season behind Little Miss Gracie. He is sure to have learnt from the experience and with this longer trip sure to suit he is taken to score. Sri Lipis rates the main danger he also showed a modicum of ability last season notably when fourth behind Belenus and is another that should appreciate this longer trip. Bravemore was a fair third behind Chocolate Caramel when l;ast seen but this looks tougher and he needs to improve. Of the remainder The Geezer and Ameeq are from shrewd yards and are others to noter in the market but in a race that throws up more questions than answers for the winner we return to Mujazafa.
