More duckeggs than a farm shop and MARGOT MINE is chosen at the expense of Marvin Gardens and Reve Vert. Margot Mine won a race in Italy during the summer before joining current connections. She sticks with the combination of cheekpieces and tonguetie that were with her on a third outing in Britain. Marvin Gardens is moderate though dangerous if allowed a soft lead. Reve Vert has plummeted down the weights after a series of modest runs. Greg Chung's Tarraburn has similarly moderate form. Rated 74 this time last season, he is without much form to speak off this term. Tapas Lad has ran three stinkers in his last three races and is one to watch rather than punt. Mocha Java returns from absence. Sometime hurdler, General Tufto is very much plating class on the flat. Margot Mine is reluctantly put up in a race that makes limited betting appeal.
