Spy Glass, Astorygoeswithit and Coffs Harbour look the three to concentrate on in this contest and the confident vote is given to Spy Glass. The selection was a fair third behind Zafantage last time out that form sets the standard in the context of this race and she need only run up to that mark to score. Astorygoeswithit rates the main danger on his latest third behind Outlook but he has given the impression he would be seen to better effect over a longer trip and for that reason he is overlooked. Coffs Harbour is another that could go well as he ran with plenty of promise on his debut and is sure to have learnt from the experience. Sharp Duo is another with place claims on his latest second behind TourAmour but this looks tougher and he will need to improve again to score. Of the remainder China Pearl is a well bred sort and looks sure to improve but for the winner we return to Spy Glass.
