Chijmes, Sparkling Eyes and Russian Silk are three against the field in this competitive contest and the vote is given to Sparkling Eyes. The selection was a good second behind Reebal last time out, granted he has the worst of the draw but her running style suggests she may get away with it and shwe looks a value bet in an open affair. Chijimes rates the main danger on his best form buut her has dissapointed of lates so can not be put forward with any confidence although this faster ground will suit .Russian Silk won well on his debut when beating Bollin Franny and is sure to improve so she is worth a cautionary look in the market. Assuie Blue has the plot draw but will need to improve dramatically on his debut running to score. Of the remainder Sppoof Master is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is more expiosed than most and for the winner we are happy to return to Sparkling Eyes.
