Another tough race to call here for punters with many in with chances on their best form but the principals look to be Gustavo, Amnesty and Easter Ogil and the tentative vote is given to Gustavo. The selection won well last time out when beating Lucky Leo and although he has a penalty for that win he won with plenty in hand and he is taken to defy the handicapper. Amnesty rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Duelling Banjos but all his best efforts have come with more cut in the ground and for that reason he is opposed. Easter Ogil is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he looks venerable to a less exposed type. Polish Spirit also won well last time out but he has a penalty for that win and this looks more competitive. Of the remainder Fiddles Music has dropped to a handy mark and should be noted in the market but for the winner we return to Gustavo.
