Son of Greek Myth, Canni Thinkaar and Schapiro are three against the field in a competitive opener and the tentative vote is given to Son Of Greek Myth. The selection defeated Canni Thinkaar in good style last time out and although that rival is better off at the weights here the selection won with a little in hand and with the step up in trip sure to suit he looks sure to improve again. Canni Thinkaar is sure to have his supporters and at these weights he will not be far away but he lacks the scope of some of his rivals and for that reason he is overlooked. Schapiro is another worthy of respect on his best form but his stable is still out of form so he can not be put forward with any confidence. Of the remainder Agostini was a fair sort on the flat but has disappointed to date over hurdles and for the winner we return to Son Of Greek Myth.
