Verdict
A wide open nursery here and many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Surely Truly,Glasshoughton and Making Music and the vote is given to Surely Truly. The selection has won his last two races in good style and although he is rising in the weights he has looked a progressive type and may still be ahead of the handicapper. Glasshoughton rates the main danger on his latest third behind Saxon Saint any rain would increase his chance and he should be noted in the market. Making Music is another worthy of respect as he won well last time when beating Kangaruz but that form has since been let down and for that reason he is opposed. Imperial Sword looks to be on a handy mark on his best form but he has disappointed of late so can not be put forward with any confidence. Of the remainder Welcome Approach is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he looks vulnerable off this mark and for the winner we return to Surely Truly.
