City Breeze gets the confident vote in the finale with Giveusaclue and Depraux rating the main dangers. The selection was a good second behind Red Echo last time out. That form looks solid in the context of this race and off the same mark here he is given one last chance to get his head in front. Giveusaclue rates the main danger on his latest fifth behind Silver Serg. He looks sure to strip fitter here and with his yard continuing in good form he will not be far away. Depraux is another that could go well on her latest fourth behind Issaquah but she still remains a maiden after 12 starts and looks opposable on that basis. Nomore has ran with promise in bumpers and could improve for the switch to hurdles so should be watched in the market. Of the remainder, Shammy Buskins has ran with promise in points but may be seen to better effect with more cut in the ground and for the winner we return to City Breeze.
