Verdict
Share My Dream gets the confident vote with Mapilut du Moulin and Native Daisy rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating Nearly A Breeze and under similar conditions here he is hard to oppose. Mapilut du Moulin rates the main danger on his second behind Walton Way in this grade but he has since dissapointed so he can not be put forward with much confidence. Native Daisy is another that could go well on her best form but the suspicion is she may just need the run after a 584 day absence. Of the remainder Smart Tiger is from a shrewd in-form yard but for the winner we return to Share My Dream.
