Triton gets the confident vote here with Spare Me and Duke of Malfi rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair fourth behind Pebrock, he looks sure to have come on for the experiance and given nominal improvement he will be hard to beat.Spare Me rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Lease Lend but the suspicion is he will be seen to better effect over a longer trip in time. Duke of Malfi was second on his debut behind Beauty One and is another that is sure to improve with the step up trip looking to be in his favour. Of the remainder Diamond Destiny showed a modicum of abilty on his debut and is another that could improve but in a race where the market will be very informitive for the winner we return to Triton who sets a fair standard.
