A large field goes to post for this claimer but on closer inspection not many can be given a serious chance of winning and the principals look to be Sawwaah, Jenna Stannis and Monash Lad and the nomination is given to Sawwaah. The selection has been running well of late without winning in better races and with the drop in class in his favour he will be hard to beat under conditions that suit with his yard back amongst the winners. Jenna Stannis rates the main danger as he is thrown in on his best form but he has shown very little of late so can not be put forward with any confidence. Monash Lad is another worthy of respect on his best form but all his best efforts have come with more cut in the ground and as he still remains a maiden after 25 starts he looks worth taking on. Bella Fiorella is game and consistent and is sure to run her race while Eminence Gift is from a yard in top form and should be noted in the market but he has yet to prove he stays this far and for the winner we return to Sawaah.
