Wee Dinns gets the confident vote here with Soonoma and Ice Cream rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating Ladino and although having a penalty for that win, that form has since been franked and under his optimum conditions he will be hard to beat. Soonoma rates the main danger on his latest third behind the selection last time and although better off at the weights the winner won with a little in hand and he is taken to defy his superiority over him.Ice Cream is another with place claims on his latest second behind French ASakluie but he lacks the scope of the selection and is passed over for that reason. Of the remainder Vivante would have a chance on his best form but consistency is not his strong point and with this in mind for the winner we return to the progressive Wee Dinns.
