Verdict
Tiger Frog gets the confident vote with Six Pack and Wynbury Flyer rating the main dangers. The selection has been in fair form of late a was a fair fourth in a better race behind Hernandita last time. The drop back down to two miles should suit and he will be hard to beat. Six Pack rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Deliceo but he looks to have plenty of weight for what he has actually achived and for that reason he is passed over. Wynbury Flyer was well beaten behind Dante's Brook on his debut this season but his stable are in top form and it would be no surprise if he were at least to run into a place. Banana Ridge showed improved form to be second behind Pink Harbour over this trip last time but this former pointer is far from fluent at his fences and for that reason he is passed over and for the winner we return to the in form Tiger Frog.
