Mystical Ayr, Passion Fruit and Scotland The Brave look the three to concentrate on in another trappy affair and the vote is given to Mystical Ayr. The selection has won his last two races in good style and although Scotland The Brave is weighted to gain her revenge the selection won with a little in hand and she is taken to win again. Passion Fruit rates the main danger on her latest fourth behind Mrs Moh but all her best form is on a faster surface and for that reason she is opposed. Scotland The Brave is sure to have her supporters but although she is well weighted she is hard to win with. Linda Green will love the ground but looks weighted up to her best while Word Perfect has dropped to a handy mark and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to the progressive Mystical Ayr.
