Canary Islands won well last time out and he looks a sound bet to follow-up here, with the main dangers likely to be Gallic Charm and Commander Cave. Ed Dunlop's colt beat Last Of The Line in convincing fashion last time, he looks progressive and he makes appeal as one to stay on the right side of. Gallic Charm arrives here in good form and she is sure to give him a race. This filly is on the hat-trick bid, but she all-out to win last time and she will need to improve on that if she is to notch another success tonight. She will get maximum assistance from Jamie Spencer in the plate and she does have a good draw, so it would be no surprise to see her go close. Commander Cave won her maiden in good style, but it remains to be seen how well treated she is for her handicap debut. Mizooka will be sharper for this run and she is best watched today, and we are happy to stick with Canary Islands to pick up the prize.
