Hall Of Fame gets the vote stepping up in trip today, with Zelos and Milla's Rocket rating the main dangers. The selection looks sure to appreciate the step up in trip today after being outpaced on his three previous runs in maidens, and enters a handicap off a reasonable mark. His stable is in good form so he gets the nod. Milla's Rocket has finished runner-up on her two runs this year and should go well once again, although she is hard to truly fancy today, despite the step up in trip looking to be in her favour. Red Petal stopped as if something was amiss last month, however she looks dangerous off this mark if back on song, whilst Zelos represents a stable in good form at present and is another to keep an eye on in the market, although the step up in distance may not be ideal. Ultimately Hall Of Fame comes from an in-form stable an gets the nomination.
