A tough claimer here for punters to call with very little between many of the leading fancies but the principals look to be Street Ballad., Jefslottery and Classic Style and the narrow vote is given to Street Ballard. The selection was a fair second behind Strathan a couple of runs ago before disappointing last time out. However the step up in trip looks sure to suit and in a poor affair he is taken to score. Jefslottery rates the main danger on his best place form but he has been tried over a variety of trips without success and he looks triples so he looks worth opposing on that basis. Classic Style hails from a yard in top form at present and is another with place claims but he has been done no favours by the draw so he can not be put forward with any confidence. Delightful Gift was a fair third behind Polesworth last time and is another that could go well but he is another that will do well to win from his draw. Of the remainder The Last Turn is one of the least exposed in the field so at least he has a little scope for improvement but he will need to improve considerably to trouble the principals and for the winner we return to Street Ballad.
