Another tough race to call here for punters with very little between many of the leading lights but the principals look to be Jihaaz Louie Louie and Music Note and the narrow vote is given to Louie Louie. There selection won well last time out when beating Jimmy The Guesser and although having a penalty for that win he looks sure to improve and he is taken to defy the handicapper under conditions that suit. Jihaaz rates the main danger as he won a maiden in good style last time out when beating Henella. He enters handicaps off what looks a fair mark and should be closely watched in the market. Music Note won well last time out when beating Motaraqeb but this looks more competitive and his penalty may just find him out. Ingratitude was second behind Baskerville last time and is another with place claims but all his best form is with slightly more cut in the ground. Carmenero hails from a yard in form and could go well at a price but he is hard to win with, this is a trappy affair and stakes should be kept to a minimum but for the winner we return to Louie Louie.
