Share My Dream, Gotta Get On and Sunley Song are three against the field in a competitive opener and the narrow vote is given to Share My Dream. The selection was a good second behind Executive Paddy last time out and that form has since been franked. The stable conditional is taking off a handy 10lbs and he will be hard to beat under conditions that suit. Gotta Get On rates the main danger on his latest second behind Colorado Pear. His yard are in form but the suspicion is he may just need the run after a 119 day absence. Sunley Song is another that could go well on his best form. Brought down last time, it is hard to know if confidence has been affected. Another Jameson has place claims on his best efforts but he has been beaten off similar marks of late and is taken on with this in mind. Of the remainder, the booking of Graham Lee for Big Bertha catches the eye and he should be noted in the market. For the winner we return to Share My Dream.
