Verdict
Dncers Of Kerry, Mekyass and Elegant Times are three against the field in a competitive opener and the narrow vote is given to Mekyass The selection was a good second on his debut behind Famcred that form has since been franked and given nominal improvement he will be hard to beat under conditions that suit. Elegant Times rates the main danger on his latest third behind Kalua Kiss but she gave the impression she would be suited by a longer trip on that occasion and she looks opposable on that basis. Dancers Of Kerry is another worthy of respect as he was a fair sixth behind Feelin Iere his stables two year olds continue in form and this stiff track should suit and she will not be far away.. Aravalli is another that looks sure to improve and the booking of Jamie Spencer catches the eye. Of the remainder lady Disdain is another that has shown a modicum of ability and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Mekyass whose form looks rock solid in the context of this race.
