All bar one have won here and nothing can be ruled out with confidence in an open sprint. Tin Hat battled well to oblige here recently and should be thereabouts again, although he is not necessarily the sort to back up a victory. Spanish Star has been just a little off the pace the last twice but has every chance on earlier efforts. Lightning Charlie and Pour La Victoire are possibles but PINK FLAMINGO is still running well, despite the attentions of the handicapper, and his latest second to the progressive Texting reads well. Alicia Darcy has done really well since joining Archie Watson and is respected with recent winner Enthaar impossible to ignore either.
