Nemetan, Madam Blaze and Nomad are three against the field in a wide open finale and the narrow vote is given to Madam Blaze. The selection was a fair second behind Coeur d'Alene last time out and despite the fact that the drop in trip is a worry she looks a value bet in an open affair. Nematan rates the main danger on his latest second behind Pearly Star. That form has since been franked and he will not be far away. Nomad is another that could go well on his latest fourth behind Pocketwood; he looks sure to be suited by the shorter trip and should be watched in the market. Prince Broc could improve for this faster ground while Mr Guppy is a rare runner for the Lenny Lungo yard here and he is another to note in the market, but for the winner we are happy to return to Madam Blaze to small stakes.
