Laureldean Melody gets the confident vote here with Bob's Dream and Red O'Donnell rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair fourth behind Ovrbranch last time out, looks sure to be suited by the drop in trip and with sheepskin cheek-pieces also expected to bring about improvement he looks the one to be on. Bob's Dream rates the main danger on his latest fifth behind Dundock but he looks to have plenty of weight for what he has actually achieved. Red O'Donnell is another worthy of respect on his latest fourth behind Silver Seeker but consistency is not his strong point. More Equity looks as if she has been crying lout for a longer trip while Rudinero is a rare runner from this stable at this meeting and is worth a cautionary look in the market but for the winner we are happy to return to Laureldean Melody
