A wide open contest rounds off the card and many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Blue Java,Tregarron, and Digital and the vote is given to Blue Java. The selection won with a shade in hand when beating Law Breaker last time out and although this looks tougher he is taken to defy the handicapper. Tregarron rates the main danger as he won well last time when beating Moors Myth but this looks tougher and he is slightly better on softer ground. Digital would have a chance at his best but he has become very disappointing of late so can not be put forward with any confidence. Of the remainder Dvinsky is from a shrewd yard and should be noted in the market but for the winner we return to Blue Java.
