Verdict

Silent Jo gets the confident vote to brake her maiden tag at last with Grey Plover and Breamore rating the main dangers. The selection has been frustrating of late but her latest second behind My Immortal sets the standard here. This looks easier and with the drop in trip sure to suit she looks the one to beat. Grey Polver rates the main danger as he showed a modicum of ability when seventh behind Shared Dreams he is sure to improve and should be noted in the market. Breamore is another well bred type that has shown a little ability and is bred to appreciate this longer trip. Of the remainder Mina A Salem is from a yard in form but will have to improve on what she has shown so far to trouble the principals and for the winner we return to Silent Jo who will never get a better chance to get her head in front.
