4 Miss Monica gets the confident vote to win this seller with Age of Kings and Guadiana rating the main dangers. The selection was a good second in a handicap behind Zining last time out. This represents a drop in class and under conditions that suit she need only run up to that mark to win this with plenty in hand. Age Of Kings rates the main danger on his best form but he disappointed for no apparent reason last time out so can not be put forward with any confidence. Guadiana is another worthy of respect on his latest fifth behind Yashin he is another dropping in class and should be noted in the market. Of the remainder Broughton Buzzer goes well fresh and could go well at a price but Miss Monica sets a fair standard and is impossible to oppose.
