A wide open handicap here and many can be given chances on their best form but the principals look to be Captain Cloudy,Princess Pea,Pure Brief and Saif Sareea and the tentative vote is given to Captain Cloudy. The selection was a good second behind the well handicapped Burning Truth last time out. This looks easier and off the same mark here he looks the one to be on. Princess Pea rates the main danger on her latest second behind Precipient but that form has since been let down and she is passed over for that reason. Pure Brief is another with place claims on his latest third behind Desert Spa but he is a weak finisher and for that reason he is opposed. Saif Sareea is another worthy of respect on his best form but he may just need the run after a 85 day absence. Of the remainder Luminoso is from a yard in form and could run well at a price but for the winner we return to Captain Cloudy.
