A tough race to call here for punters with very little between many of the leading lights but the principals look to be High Rhythm, Zimbali, Angel River and Cilla's Smile and the vote is given to High Rhythm. The selection was a fair second behind Depressed last time out;. That represents solid form in the context of this race and off the same mark here he will be hard to beat. Zimbali rates the main danger on her latest third behind Jolie but all her best form is over the minimum trip and for that reason she is opposed. Angel River is another worthy of respect on her latest fifth behind Saxon Lil as that form has since been franked. However she was doing all her best work at the finish on that occasion so the drop in trip has to be of concern. Cilla's Smile is one of the least exposed in the field and has a little scope for improvement especially now she has her favoured fast surface. Of the remainder Azuree has dropped to a handy mark and is from a shrewd yard and is another to note in the market but for the winner we return to High Rhythm.
