A tough race to call here for punters with very little between many of the leading lights but the principals look to be Hawkit, Jackie Kiely and Galley Law and the tentative vote is given to Hawkit. The selection won well last time out when beating Romil Star and although that was a seller and he has top weight here he should improve for the step up in trip and from a good draw he looks the one to be on. Jackie Kiely also won well last time out when beating Moon Shot but that form has since been let down by the third in that race and she looks vulnerable under her penalty. Galley Law ran well on his first run of the season when third behind Three Ships. He is sure to strip fitter here and from a good draw for one who likes to be handy he has definite place claims. Golden Measure looks to be on a handy mark and with his yard in form he should be closely watched in the Market. Of the remainder Efrhina goes well at the track and is another that could run into a place but he may just need the run after a 54 day absence and in a race where the market will be very informative for the winner we return to Hawkit.
