Sports Express, Lethem Present and Romanov Rambler are three against the field in a tough race to call for punters and the narrow vote is given to Sports Express. The selection won well last time out when beating Ramanov Rambler and although having a penalty for that win he has won off a higher mark in the past and he is taken to score. Lethem Present rates the main danger on his latest win over Lost In Normandy but this looks tougher and he looks vulnerable under his penalty. Ramanov Rambler was behind the selection last time and although better off at the weights he still has a little to find. No Kidding looks on a handy mark and could go well at a price while Nevada Red may struggle under topweight and for the winner we return to Sports Express who still looks ahead of the handicaper.
