Another tough race to call here for punters with not much between many of the leading lights but the principals look to be Mel In Blue, Trisons Star, Reseda, Hattington and Simlet and the vote is given to Trisons Star. The selection was a fair second behind A Few Bob Back last time out and off the same mark here he will be hard to beat off what looks a fair mark. Mel In Blue rates the main danger he has won his last two races in good style notably when beating Gamma Delta last time out. However he has another penalty for that win and that may just find him out so he is passed over on this occasion. Reseda is another that could go well he was a fair second behind Darab last time but that was over a longer trip and the drop in distance is not sure to suit. Hattington is one of the least exposed in the field and won well last time out when beating Alessandro Severo but this looks tougher and he needs to improve to score. Of the remainder Simlet is still well weighted on her best form of a couple of seasons ago and could go well at a price despite her big weight but in a race that throws up more questions than answers for the winner we return to Trisons Star.
