Amicelli gets the confident vote here with Salhood and Rash Moment rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating Steppes Of Gold and although having a penalty for that win he again has conditions to suit and is taken to win again. Salhood rates the main danger on his latest second behind Cansalrun but he was far from fluent on that occasion and is past over with this in mind. Rash Moment is another last time out winner that could go well having beaten Incas last time out but this looks tougher and his overallprofile leaves him with a little to find. Of the remainder Stoneyford Ben would have a chance on his best form but took a heavy fall last time out so he can not be put forward with any confidence and with this in mind for the winner we return to Amicelli.
