Another tough race to call here for punters with very little between many of the leading lights but the principals look to be Jallastep,Specular and Gone Too Far and the vote is given to Jallastep. The selection was a fair second last time out behind Native Coral. He races off the same mark here and under conditions that suit he will be hard to beat. Specular rates the main danger on his best form but he took a heavy fall last time out and he looks vulnerable to a less exposed type off this mark and he looks opposable on that basis. Gone Too Far is another that could go well on his latest third behind Just In Time but he is another that looks weighted up to his best. Risky Way is best off a strong pace but that does not look likely here. Of the remainder Loulou Nivernais won well last time out but will find this hard under his penalty and in a race that throws up more questions than answers for the winner we return to Jallastep.
