Another tough race to call here for punters with very little between many of the leading lights but the principals look to be Ri Na Realta, Major Belle, Fieldsofclover and the tentative vote is given to Ri Na Realta. The selection was a fair second behind Bayadere last time out that form looks rock solid in the context of this race and off the same mark he he need only run up to that mark to score. Major Belle rates the main danger on his latest second behind Uneven Line but he is rising in the weights without winning and for that reason he is opposed. Fieldsofclover is another worthy of respect on his latest fourth behind Runner Bean but he is a weak finisher so can not be put forward with any confidence. Of the remainder Myson is on a handy mark and could go well if in the mood but that is a big if while Eau Pure hails from a yard in top form and should be noted in the market but in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum for thew winner we return to Ri Na Realta.
