Cankara, Bobering and Norwegian are the three to concentrate on here and the vote is given to Cankara. The selection was clearly suited by the step-up in trip when showing improved form to score in a handicap here last time and this lightly-raced filly gave the impression that day that she is one to stay on the right side of. This is not a strong race and she should take plenty of beating. Bobering is interesting as he won over this course and distance last time when getting the better of My Michelle. He loves it here and he should be capable of filling one of the places. Norwegian went close last time when just getting collared on the line by Blue Sky Thinking and although he is a bit inconsistent he does have three wins to his name here. Agilete hinted at a return to form last time and is worth noting in the market, but for the winner we will stick with Cankara.
