In depth
Verdict
Light Mozart gets a confident vote here with Ceredig, and Don't Tell Sue rating the main dangers. The selection was a good second behind Fantasy Explorer last time out. That form has since been franked and under similar conditions here he will be hard to beat.Ceredig rates the main danger on his latest third behind Manikiniko but has given the impression he would be suited by a longer trip and for that reason he is opposed. Don't Tell Sue is another worthy of respect on her best form but she faded very tamely last time so can not be put forward with any confidence. Of the remainder Overwing hails from a yard in form and could go well at a price but Light Motzart sets a fair standard and he will be hard to beat.
