This is a very tricky contest and Greenwood has to be considered, however we will give a narrow vote to Ten Shun, with Adantino also expected to run well. The selection hit form with a vengeance last September winning three on the spin. He returned to the turf earlier this month and wasn't disgraced behind Apply Dapply. He should come on for the outing and looks the best option. It is hard to fault Greenwood's recnt form, but the handicapper may just be in control now. Adantino makes a quick return to this track having finished an excellent third behind Saviours Spirit last week. He runs off the same mark and has to be a possible for the places. China Cherub can also be given an each-way chance, but in a wide open contest Ten Shun is our idea of the likely winner.
