Rosetown gets the confident vote here with Potts of Magic and Bustisu rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair third behind Toluse latrec last time out off this mark. This looks easier and as he is sure to strip fitter here he will be hard to beat. Potts Of Magic rates the main danger on his latest second behind Red Perk but he has risen in the weights for been beaten and he looks vulnerable for that reason. Bustisu was a fair third behind Esters Boy last time and is another that could go well but just gave the impression the handicapper had caught up with him on that occasion. Of the remainder Standing Bloom has dropped to a handy mark and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Rosetown.
