Oeil d'Estruval, Think of The Money and Kathuna are a handful against the field in a tough race to call for punters and the narrow vote is given to Oeil d'Estruval. The selection was a fair fourth behind Kaparolo, this looks easier and with this slightly longer trip also looking to be in his favour he looks the one to be on. Think Of The Money rates the main danger as she won with a little in hand when beating Dancing Melody last time, this looks more competitive though and she looks vulnerable under her penalty. Kathuna is another that could go well he hails from shrewd Irish stable and should be watched in the market. Of the remainder Intersky Music could improve for his first try in a handicap while Arabie is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but for the winner we return to Oeil d'Estruval to small stakes.
