In depth
Verdict
Another open affair rounds off proceedings and many would have chances on their best form but the main protagonists appear to be Scraps,Silvaline and Jubilee Street and we will take a chance on Silvaline. The gelding from the Keddy yard was a fair third behind Must Be Magic last time and a reproduction of that effort would make him hard to beat despite top weight. Scraps rates the main danger on his latest second behind Killala but all his best form has been over seven furlongs and he is not sure to see out the trip. Jubilee Street is also worthy of coonsideration after a good sixth behind Cd Flyer last time, however he never runs two races the same. Of the remainder Didn't Tell My Wife and Royal Windmill are from yards in form and are worth noting in the market but we are happy to stick with the top weight Silvaline.
