Red Vixen, Thornfield Clo and Takitwo make the short list, with the vote going to Red Vixen. Takitwo is becoming frustrating but keeps leaving the impression that there is a race of this nature in him, while Mocha Java comes here in winning form and can be considered, even though that success came in a seller. Royal Tavira Girl's consistency is commendable but might have to settle for a place again, while Simpsons Ross would have a chance based on best pieces of form, but he is not consistent. Blinkers will have to do a lot for Orphina, while a market move for Fateful Attraction could be interesting. Red Vixen has suggested that she is running into form of late so is well worth trying at this longer trip and is respected, while the unexposed Thornfield Clo comes here as a potential improver and runs quickly after pulling too hard at Windsor on Monday. Once again, it's a tricky race, with the vote going to Red Vixen.
