Verdict

Hoo La Baloo gets the confident vote Iron Man and Boychuk rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating Bleu Superbe over two miles. Granted he has a penalty for that win but he looks sure to improve for the return to this longer trip and under conditions that suit he is taken to defy the handicapper. Iron Man rates the main danger as he beat Fier Normand last time out. However he has yet to win over this trip and looks vulnerable under top weight. Boychuck is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he looks weighted up to his best at present. Full House ran as if in need of the run when third behind Cantabilly last time but he has yet to prove he stays this far. Of the others An Accordion may just need the run after a 280 day break and with this in mind Hoo La Baloo looks the one to be on.
