Verdict
Helen Wood gets the vote in this trappy opener with Strawberry and Papeete rating the main dangers. The selection looked a horse to follow a couple of runs ago but has since disappointed, however the return to this grade should suit and she is hard to oppose. Strawberry rates the main danger on her best form but she was well beaten behind Karello Bay last time and although this looks easier her overall profile leaves her with a little to find. Papeete is another that could go well but all her best efforts have come on a softer surface. Of the remainder Look Of Eagles is from a yard in form and should be noted in the market but for the winner we return to Helen Wood.
