Motu, Franksalot and Bucharest are three against the field in another wide open affair and the vote is given to Bucharest. The selection won with a little in hand last time out when beating Joshua's Gold last time out, that form has since been franked and under similar conditions here he looks the one to be on. Motu rates the main danger on his latest second behind Kabis Amigos but that form has since been let down and he is passed over with this in mind. Franksalot is another that could go well on his latest second behind Roman History, he has won off a higher mark in the past but consistency is not his strong point so he can not be put forward with any confidence. Bijou Dan is another that could go well but he just gave the impression the handicapper had caught up with him last time. Of the remainder Boy Dancer has conditions to suit and could go, well at a price but for the winner we return to Bucharest who looks ahead of the handicapper.
