Palawan is given one last chance to get his head in front with Molinia and Old Bailey rating the main dangers, The selection has been in fair form of late without winning but he was a good second last time out behind Shity Night last time out. That form has since been franked and from the same mark here he will be hard to beat. Molinia rates the main danger on his second behind Set Alight acouple of runs ago but he did not progress as expected last time out and for that reason he is passed over on this occasion. Old Bailey is another that would have a chance on his best form but he looked an awkward ride last time out and he will need to bouce back to his best if he is to score. Of the remainder Taranaki has dropped to a handy mark and is worth monitoring in the market but for the winner we return to the consistent Palawan.
