Another tough contest here for punters to fathom but the principals look to be Apex, Dark Day Blues and Eboracum and we will take a chance on the last named. The Tim Easterby trained in mate was a fair fourth on his debut behind Motu he is sure to have come on for the experience and under these similar conditions he will be hard to beat. Apex rates the main danger he was a fair third behind Boogie Street last time doing all his best work at the finish, the step up in trip is sure to suit and he will not be far away. Dark Day Blues is from a top yard and is worth noting in the market but he disappointed last time so he may be best watched here. Of the remainder West Highland Way was a good second behind George The Best last time but that was with more cut in the ground so we are happy to side with the less exposed Eboracum.
