Verdict
Mirasol Princess,Norcroft and King of Diamonds are three against the field in a tough race e to call fore punters and the vote is given to Mirasol Princess. The selection won well last time out when beating Mnashee Prince and although having a penalty he still looks ahead of the handicapper and is taken to win again. Norcroft rates the main danger as he also won well last time out when beating Kennington but this looks more competitive and he is passed over for that reason he is opposed. King Of Diamonds is another that could go well on his best form but he has shown very little of late so can not be put forward with any confidence. Banjo Bay could improve for the fitting of first time tongue strap and should be noted in the market. Of the remainder Stoksies Wish is from a yard in form and is another to note in the market but for the winner we return to Mirasol Princess.
