Verdict
Another wide open contest rounds off the card and many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Playful Dane, Blue Maeve, Favour and Betty¿s Pride and the tentative vote goes to Favour. The selection was an unlucky in running third behind Saistar last time out and if he gets luck in running here he will be hard to beat off the same mark here. Playful Dane rates the main danger he was a fair third behind Trojan Flight last time but that form has since taken a few knocks and for that reason he is opposed. Blue Maeve is another worthy of respect as she won well when defeating Trojan Flight last time. However this looks as competitive and she will find it harder under her penalty. Betty¿s Pride also won well last time out when defeating Pulse but that was with more cut in the ground and she looks beatable off this mark on this faster ground. Of the remainder Vigorous has dropped to a handy mark and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Favour.
