A poor seller here but something has to win and the principals look to be Ballare, Boundless Prospect and Rowan Pursuit and the tentative vote goes to Ballare. The selection has been in better races of late, but with the drop to this grade and from what looks a good draw he is taken to score. Boundless Prospect rates the main danger on his best form. He is also dropping in grade and it would be no surprise if he showed improved form in first time blinkers so he is worth noting in the market. Rowan Pursuit is another worthy of respect as he ran as if returning to form when fifth behind Ali Bruce. He will relish the return to this trip and is another that has place claims. Zite D'Alsace is another back in selling grade but she has shown very little of late so can not be put forward with any confidence. Of the remainder, Lord Of the Sea is from a yard in form but needs to improve on his best form to trouble the principals and in a desperate affair where stakes should be kept to a minimum, for the winner we return to Ballare.
