Verdict
Hi Dancer gets the vote here with Archimboldo and Monashee Grey rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating That Look with plenty in hand. That bform has since been franled and despite his penalty under conditions that suit he is hard to oppose. Archimboldo rates the main danger on his latest second behind Left Hand Drive but he has already given the impression he would be suited by a longer trip and for that reasonm he is opposed. Monashee Grey is another that could go well on his latest sixth behind Leo McGarry, his is sure to have learn from the experiance and should be watched in the market. Of the remainder The Preacher is another that has shown ability and could improve but he may be seen to better effect once handicaped and for the winner we return to Hi Dancer.
