Indonesia is proving frustrating to follow this year and so Strobe is given the nod ahead of Last Flight. The selection comes here on the back of a win on the all-weather and Jamie Osbourne's charge has now not finished out of the first two on his last five outings. This progressive three-year-old is certainly very consistent and having shown a liking for quick ground in the past, he can win again today. Last Flight has run his best races on softer ground and is yet to show that he really handles quick ground, so he is passed over and of more interest may be Indonesia. Tim Walford's charge has only one win to his name in 15 starts but he normally gives his all and has run well at the track before. At a price old-timer Red Sun could go well, however Strobe is fancied to make it four wins from his last eight starts.
