Verdict
It won't be easy for CLEAR ICE under a penalty, but he loves it here and is taken to add to his recent 5f success at the track, with Thewinnatakesitall the one to follow him home. The Dandy Nicholls-trained selection has run three good races in succession here including one over today's trip, though he was beaten seven lengths on that occasion. He is worth another try over the distance and can be relied upon to produce another good effort, which we hope will be enough. Thewinnatakesitall showed little until dropped back to the minimum trip in a claimer here last time, when she found just one too good. Now proven on the surface and with the stamina for this step up, she can again go very well. Out The Ring tries this slower surface for the first time and if handling it then he could run a big race from a mark of just 59, although he seems to do his best work over the minimum trip. Blue Rum has possibilities on this slower ground and dropped in the weights, while Miss Taken also has claims, having gone quite well over course and distance in a couple of recent defeats. Clear Ice is just preferred for today.
