Another wide open affair rounds off the card and many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Kimono Royal, Breaking Breeze, Sarasota and the The Kirk and the tentative vote is given to Breaking Breeze. The selection was a fair fifth behind Three Days Reign in a better race last time out and need only run up to that mark to win this. Kimono Royal rates the main danger on his latest sixth behind Versus. This looks easier and he should be noted in the market. Sarasota disappointed last time but will like this faster ground and is from a shrewd yard so is another with place claims. The Kirk was a fair second behind Thyne ForIntersky last time but the drop in trip looks against him and he is opposed for that reason. Of the remainder Elheba is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but may struggle under top weight and in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to Breaking Breeze.
