A wide open contest here and many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Count Fosco, I Got Rhythm Clear Dawn, and Lakil Boy and the vote is given to Count Fosco. The selection won well last time out over course and distance when defeating Own Line. He enters handicaps off what looks a fair mark and under conditions that suit he will be hard to beat. I Got Rhythm rates the main danger on his best form but on a line through Own Line he has plenty to find at the weights with the selection and for that reason he is opposed. Clear Dawn was a fair second behind Cosmic Case last time and runs off the same mark here so he has definite place claims. Lakil Boy is an Irish raider that is well weighted on his best form and he looks likely to improve for this faster ground. Of the remainder Swallow Magic is from a yard in top form and is worth a cautionary look in the market but for the winner we return to Count Fosco who won well last time out.
