Supreme Toss Ardaghey and Great As Gold are three against the field in this beginners chase and the narrow vote is given to Supreme Toss. The selection was a fair second behind Mount Clerigo last time out. That form has since been franked and with the step up in trip sure to suit he looks the one to be on. Ardaghey rates the main danger on his latest second behind Bailea Star he is another that is sure to improve and with his yard back in better form he should be noted in the market. Great As Gold is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is beginning to look triples and he is opposed for that reason. Of the remainder Woodlands Genpower is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but his is prone to the odd error and for the winner we return to Supreme Toss who ran well last time out.
