Bracklinn is a course and distance winner and looks the one to be on here with Moonlight Music and Friends Hope rated as the main danger. The selection put up a fair effort last time at Newbury when third behind Kahlua Kiss. This race does not look as competitive as that and she sets the standard for the rest. Moonlight Music was a little disappointing last time but that was over a longer trip and he should be seen to effect now that he is dropped in distance. Friends Hope is another that should be suited by the drop in trip and this mare from the Paul Blockley yard has been running consistently well of late. Miss Monica is another course and distance winner and may prove best of the remainder, but Bracklinn stands out as the one to beat and gets the vote.
