Mountain Pass gets the confident vote in the seller with Diamond Josh and Crafty Fox rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair seventhy in a handicap behind Final Tune last time out, this represents a drop in class and he need only run up to that mark to win this with a little in hand. Diamond Josh rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Cayman Breeze he is another dropping in grade and from the plot draw he should be noted in the market. Crafty Fox won well last time out when beating Mucho Loco but that was over a lionger trip and the drop in distance has to be of concern. Of the remainder Came Back is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but he looks vulnerable under top weight and for the winner we return to Mountain Pass.
