Ours gets the vote in this handicap with Artie's Son and Apache Nation rating the main dangers. The selection was a good third behind Just Lillie last time out, that form has since been franked and off the same mark here he will be hard to beat. Artie's Son rates the main danger on his best form but he was slightly disappointing last time out, however he could improve for this longer trip and should be noted in the market. Ap-ache Nation is another that could go well but he is another that looks weighted up to his best. Of the remainder William John could improve for the fitting of a first time tongue tie while Crush On You is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is hard to win with and in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to Ours.
