Apsara, Abstract Folly and Millagros are three against the field in a trappy affair and the narrow nomination is given to Abstract Folly. The selection won well last time when beating Birthday Star and although rising in the weights he looks progressive and under conditions that suit is taken to win again. Aspara rates the main danger on his best form but he disappointed for no apparent reason last time so can not be put forward with any confidence. Millagros is another that could go well now that he returns to turf having disappointed on the all weather last time but he may just need the run after a 211 day absence. Of the remainder Luna Landing is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is hard to win with and with this in mind for the winner we return to Abstract Folly.
