Verdict

LEFTONTHESHELF makes most appeal here, and is selected ahead of Gone Hunting and Bold Account. The pick hasn't been out of the first three in her five races to date, including being runner up to Super Sprint winner Jargelle. Expect her to blaze away and try and make all. Top weight Gone Hunting is the consistent sort, and has been second here in similar contests in his last couple of outings, including when finishing just ahead of Leftontheshelf. This is very much his level, and should attract some support. Bold Account couldn't cope with an 18 pounds rise last time out after a couple of wins. He's another front runner Outroad is seeing a track for the first time, so hopes can't be that high by starting off in a claimer, and our selection is Leftontheshelf.
