With the yard hitting form at the week-end Princess Cocoa has to be respected here, however we will side with recent winner Yes One, Crocodile Bay could be the best of the others. The handicapper has been a little bit harsh in raising the selection seven pounds for a neck victory, but the way he stayed on over that seven furlongs suggests there will be more to come over this longer trip. Princess Cocoa has certainly been in consistent form this season, but may need a slight drop in the ratings before winning again. The same probably applies to Crocodile Bay who's last victory came off a mark of 70, although dandy is capable of improving horses in his care. The other two runners look a little out of sorts at present and so we return to Yes One as the most likely winner
