A wide open bumper rounds off thew card and as usual in these types of events the market will prove a good guide but the ones to concentrate on look to be Easter Present, Salt Cellar and Shining Strand and we will take a chance on the last named. The colt by Karinga Bay will not mind the ground and is from a stable that does well in this sphere. Salt Cellar is a flat bred gelding by Salse and is another to note in the market. Easter Present was a good third on his debut last season behind Sagarso Sea. He is sure to have strengthened up, in the summer and is another that could go well. Ungaro won well on his debut but he will find it tough to give weight and a beating to some of these unexposed types. Of the remainder Allumee is also from a top yard and is worth noting in the market but we are happy to side with Shining Strand.
