Bow Wave gets the confident vote to win this handicap with Inside Story, Tesary and Tax Free rating the main dangers. The selection is one of the least exposed in the field and was a fair fourth in a better race behind Machinist last time out. That represents solid form in the context of this race and off the same mark here he is hard to oppose. Tesary rates the main danger on her latest second behind Baron Rhodes and she looks sure to appreciate this longer trip and should be noted in the market. Tax Free is another with place claims on his latest third behind Tsaroxy but he looks weighted up to his best. Of the remainder, Fly To Dubai is another last time out winner with place claims but he has a penalty for his latest victory and this looks more competitive. That may just find him out and for the winner we return to the progressive Bow Wave.
