This is the most competitive race on the card and A Teen, Midmaar and Headland are all considered with the vote given to A Teen. The selection finished third over this course and distance last time behind Compton Classic. He is in good heart at present and although he is not the most reliable he does stand out as the percentage call. Midmaar is another that has been running well of late but this is not his trip, he is better over further, so he is hard to put forward with any confidence. Headland would have claims on the pick of his form but he was disappointing last time and he is another who is yet to prove his effectiveness over the minimum trip. Grand View has been in fair form of late and this course and distance winner may be capable of claiming some place money, as unlike quite a few of these he will be suited by running over 5f. However, for the winner we will stick with A Teen.
