Knockara Luck gets the vote here with Skrike An Ark and Turtle Bay rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair second behind La Dame Brune last time ut, that form looks rock solid in the context of this race and under similar conditions here he will be hard to beat. Strike An Arc rates the main danger on his best form but he was slightly dissapointing last time out. However the return to this trip should suit and he should be noted in the market. Turtle Bay is another that could go well on his latest fourth behind Dancing Lyra but he has yet to oprove he stays this far and at likely odds he looks worth taking on. Of the remainder So Cloudy is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but for the winner we return to Knockara Luck.
