A wide open contest gets proceedings underway and many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Patxaran, Queens Dancer and Cave Of The Giant and the tentative vote is given to Patxaran. The selection won well last time out when beating Calfraz and with the step up in trip likely to bring about some more improvement he looks the value bet in an open affair. Queens Dancer rates the main danger on her latest fourth behind Sonnengold. The return to a faster surface should suit and with her yard continuing in good form she will not be far away. Cave Of Giant is another worthy of respect on his latest fifth behind Detroit City. That form looks rock solid and he is another that could improve for the longer trip. The Castilian travels well in his races but often finds less than expected off there bridle. He could run into as place but can not be but forward as a betting proposition. Of the remainder Cava Bien looks on a handy mark on his best form but is hard to win with while Olazuro Du Mou is from a top French yard and is another that could improve but in a race where the market will be very informative for the winner we return to Patxaran.
