A tricky contest for punters to fathom with many in form rivals in opposition including Dam The Breeze, Iron Express and Borzov and we will take a chance on Iron Express. The gelding from the George Moore yard has been in good form of late without winning and his latest second behind Gatorade would give him every chance. He is also wearing blinkers for the first time and if they have the deserted effect he will be hard to beat. Dam The Breeze rates the main danger he won well last time out when defeating Johnston's Art but he may struggle off this a career high mark. Borzov is another worthy of respect but he has pulled up on his last two runs and can not be backed with any confidence. Of the remainder Hurricane Bay is from a top yard and is worth noting in the market but we are happy to stick with Iron Express in the hope that the blinkers have the desired effect.
