Always Brave, No To Trident and Coral Shores look the three to concentrate on in this contest and the vote is given to Always Brave. The selection was a fair sixth in a better race behind Suzie's Decision last time out he looks sure to appreciate the return to this longer trip and with huis yard continuing in good form he is taken to score. No To Trident rates the main danger on his latest fifth behind Trinkila but the suspicion is he will be seen to better effect in handicaps. Coral Shores ran promisingly on his debut but has not progressed as expected so can not be put forward with much confidence. Of the remainder Saturday Boy hails from a yard that is going well with its two-year-olds and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Always Brave.
