Verdict
A wide open contest rounds off the card and many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Lanzlo,Tobesure and Old Nosey and the tentative vote is given to Tobesure. The selection was a fair fifth behind Jordans Ridge last time out looks sure to appreciate the step up in trip and from what looks a good mark he will be hard to beat. Lanzlo rates the main danger on his latest third behind Commercial Flyer but he has yet to win over this trip and for that reason he is over looked. Old Nosey has place claims on his best form but was very disappointing behind Glenmoss Rosey last time so can not be put forward with any confidence. Putup Or Shutup is from a top yard and has traveled a long way to contest this race but although he travels well in his races he finds little off the bridle and for that reason he is passed over. Of the remainder Red Perk is from a yard in form and should be noted in the market but in a race where stakes should be kept to a min-nimum for the winner we return to Tobesure.
