Verdict
A competitive contest rounds of the card and the principals look to be Hernandita, Blue Streak and Leche Bottes and the tentative vote is given to the last named. The selection has plenty of ability and is very consistent. However he is very hard to win with but this race looks sure to be run to suit and off a good mark and under conditions to suit he is given one last chance to get his head in front. Hernandita rates the main danger he won well last time out when defeating Stage By Stage but that was over three miles so the drop[ in trip is not sure to suit. Blue Streak is another that could go well but he was slightly disappointing in a seller behind Droumleigh Lad last time so can not be backed with any confidence. Of the remainder Lyrical Way is unexposed and is from a shrewd yard so is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to the exasperating Leche Bottes.
