Verdict
Eau Pure, Dinarelli and Burdens Girl are three against the field in another wide open affair and the confident vote goes to Eau Pure. The selection from the bang in-form Gary Moore yard has won his last two races in good style and a reproduction of his latest win over Galik Dawn would make him hard to beat. Dinarelli showed improved form to be fourth on his latest run behind Glencoyle but he looks to have enough weight for what he has actually achieved. Burdens Girl looks to be on a fair mark and although she disappointed last time a reproduction of her previous second behind Hilya would see her go close. Boom Or Bust is another that could go well but her best form has come with more cut in the ground so she is passed over on this occasion. Of the remainder Tragic Dancer is from a shrewd yard that is in form but for the winner we return to Eau Pure.
