A tough race to call here for punters with very little between many of the rivals but something has to win and the principals look to be Find Me, Divvys Dream and Beau Largesse and the narrow vote is given to the last named. The selection was a fair fifth behind Guns And Butter last time out looks sure to be suited by the drop in trip and looks a value bet in an open affair. Divvys Dream rates the main danger on her best form but she will have to settle better than she did last time out if she is to get competitive. Find Me is unexposed and hails from a shrewd in form yard so should be watched in the market. Ocarito showed promise on his first starts last season but has failed to progress while Salsero has shaped with promise but has already indicated he will be seen to better effect over a longer trip and for the winner we return to Beau Largesse to small stakes.
