Mr Chad gets the confident vote with Nando's Dream and Dan Buoy rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair third on his debut behind Macnirobi is sure to have learnt from the expectance and given nominal improvement will be hard to beat. Nando's Dream rates the main danger as he is a well bred colt from a yard that can do no wrong with its two year olds and should be noted in the market. Dan Bouy is another that could go well as he showed ability last season but the suspicion is he may just need the run after a 344 day absence,. Of the remainder Pathos Way looks a as if he will be seen to better effect over a longer trip in time and for the winner we return to Mr Chad.
