Not a strong contest based on what we have seen of the leading players and I'M SUPER TOO is taken to have the edge over Keyta Bonita and Crunched. The selection was runner-up at Thirsk on soft ground behind Dance For Julie last week, when doing all of his best work at the finish. This step up by over a furlong looks sure to suit, and he is well enough drawn towards the inside to be able to lay up prominently and then kick on and use his undoubted stamina to best effect. Keyta Bonita will be popular after making the frame at both Yarmouth and Newcastle and she has to be respected, but the concern for punters must be her ability to see out this trip given that she has run a little short on each of those recent occasions and we'll take her on. Michael Bell saddles Crunched, who is going the right way and should stay this trip well, although perhaps he will enjoy better days at three. Epic represents connections who do well here and should be suited by both trip and ground and we could see him improving, but with little else making appeal I'm Super Too is taken to live up to his name.
