Verdict
Pamir, Sweet Namibia and Keep Me Warm are the leading players in the opener and we will give the vote to Pamir. The selection was a good third behind On The Waterline last time out at Windsor and with nominal improvement from that run he should take plenty of beating. Sweet Namibia was an expensive purchase and she put up a fair effort on her debut when third behind Heartsonfire on this track. She proved her ability to handle this surface that day and she should go well. Keep Me Warm was a fair fourth behind Cesar Manrique on his debut and is stepped up in trip here, so he is worth noting in the market, but for the winner we return to Pamir.
