A large field goes to post for this competitive handicap but on closer inspection not many can be given a serious chance of winning and the principles look to be Daydream Dancer, Trickstep and On Cloud Nine and the confident vote goes to Daydream Dancer. The selection won with plenty in hand when defeating Cobalt Blue last time out, and he remains well weighted so if he goes on the surface then he will be hard to beat. Trickstep rates the main danger on his latest win over Charlie Tango but he is not sure to stay this trip and for that reason he is opposed. On Cloud Nine is another worthy of respect on his best form but he was beaten in a claimer last time and this looks tougher. Elusive Kitty has had plenty of chances without taking one and she looks to have plenty on off top weight. Of the remainder, Maria Bonita is from a yard in form and is worth noting in the market, but for the winner we return to the progressive Daydream Dancer.
