Another wide open contest rounds off the card but the main protagonists look to be Faraday, Maria Antonia and Mixing and the narrow nomination is given to Faraday. The selection was a fair third behind Sakula Pata last time out, looks sure to improve for this longer trip and off what remains a fair mark he looks the one to be on. Maria Antonia rates the main danger on his latest third behind Mixing but he is creeping up the weights without winning and he is taken on with this in mind. Mixing is another that could go well but he just gave the impression the handicapper had caught up with him when only fourth behind Ryedale Ovation. Krasivi's Boy won well last time out when beating Milk And Sultana but he has since disappointed over hurdles. My Monna is unexposed and could improve so could go well at a price but Faraday looks the one to be on.
