Wiggy Smith, gets the vote here with Bowdlane Barb and Loves Travelling rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair fourth behind Moon Over Miami last time out, this looks easier and under similar conditions here he need only run up to that mark to score. Bowdlane Barb rates the main danger as he won well last time out when beating Harpurs Girl but he has a penalty for that win and he will do well to give weight and a beating to the selection. Loves Travelling is another that could go well as he was a fair sort on the flat and with his yard prone to the odd tilt at the ring he should be closely watched in the market. Smokey Mountain is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he looks vulnerable under his penalty. Of the remainder Little Vantage is from a yard in form and could go well at price but Wiggy Smith `sets a fair standard and he will be hard to beast.
