Verdict
Port Moreno, Ressource and Pink Harbour look the three to concentrate on in this desperate seller and the confident vote goes to Port Moreno. The selection was a good second behind Downtheirfordancin last time and if he can reproduce that effort on this softer ground he will be hard to beat.Ressource rates the main danger he is from a yard in form and was a fair third behind Cancum Carib last time. However he remains a maiden and for that reason he is opposed. Pink Harbour showed improved form to be second behind Escort last time but that was on good ground and his form on a softer surface leaves plenty to be desired and for the winner we return to Port Moreno.
