A bumper rounds off the card and as usual in these events the market will be all important but the principals look to be Dancingwithbubbles, Izita Star and Southern Exit and the tentative nomination is given to Dancingwithbubbles. The selection won well on her debut when beating Romance Dance and although having a penalty for that win her stable are in good form she conditions to suit and she is taken to maintain her unbeaten record. Izita Star rates the main danger on her latest second behind Award Winner but she is bred to be suited by a longer trip and is taken on with this in mind. Southern Exit was a fair second behind Gold Reef in a similar race last time and is another with place claims but Dancingwithbubbles who is unexposed and is our idea of the winner.
