Verdict
Salut d'Amour,Global Warning and Lava Flow are three against the field in a wide open contest and the confident vote is given to Salutd'Amour. The selection was a good second behind Skyelady last time out, is sure to have learnt from the experience and under similar conditions here he will be hard to beat. Global Warning rates the main danger as he is a well bred , half-brother to winning miler Surya and is from a yard that has all ready had two-year-old winners so he should be noted in the market. Lava Flow is another worthy of respect as he finished in mid-division behind Crocodile Bay last time and is another that seems sure to improve. Of the remainder Rothesay Dancer is from a yard in form and is another that could go well but he may be seen to better effect in nursery and for the winner we return to Salut d'Amour.
