Kentucky Bullet gets the confident vote to win this contest with Iamback, and True To Yourself rating the main dangers. The selection was very disappointing when switched back to turf but prior to that he had been in good form on this surface, He remains on a handy mark and with the race likely to be run to suit he will be hard to beat from what looks a good draw. Iamback rates the main danger as he was in mid-division in a race won by Reggae Rhythm lat time out. The return to this grade is ideal and he will not be far away. True To Yourself is another worthy of respect on his best form but he is far from consistent and for that reason he is opposed. It Must Be Speech and Trysting Grove are others that are well weighted on their best form but have shown precious little of late and for the winner we return to Kentucky Bullet who looks to have everything in his favour.
