The Preacher, Is and Cool Isle look the three to concentrate on in this desperate seller and the vote is given to The Preacher. The selection was a fair third behind Alwaysforsale last time out, that form looks rock solid in the contesxt of this race and he need only run up to that mark to score. Is rates the mauin danger on his best form but all his best efforts have come over a shorter trip and with this in mind he looks worth taking on. Cool Isle is another that could go well on his best form but he was well beaten in this grade last time and at likely odds he looks worth taking on. Of the remainder Constables Art was an expensicve purchase but showed little on his debut so can not be put forward with any confidence and for the winner we return to The Preacher to minimum stakes.
