Tashkandi, Ragdale Hall and Rare Coincidence are three against the field in a wide open affair and the vote is given to Tashkandi. The selection was a fair second behind Jacaranda last time outthat form looks solid in the cointext of this race and off what remains a fair mark he looks the value bet in an open affair. Ragdale Hall won well last time out but consistency is not his strong point and he looks vulnerable under his penalty. Rare Coincidence is another that could go well on his latest fourth behind Rgdale Hall, he is better off with that rival here and is sure to strip fitter so he should be noted in the market. Transit has dropped to a handy mark and could go well at a price but in a race where few can be ruled out for the winner we return to the progressive Tashkandi.
