Nocatee gets the vote here with Galtee View and Be The Tops rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair third behind Lazy But Lively last time out, that form looks rock solid, he goes well on the ground and looks the value bet in an open affair. Galtee View rates the main danger on his best form but he gave the impression the handicapper had caught with him and for that he is opposed. Be The Tops is another with place claims on his best form but he has failed to complete the course in two of his last three runs so can not be put forward with any confidence. Mocharamor is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is hard to win with while Renvyle has dropped to a handy mark and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Nocatee.
