After only just being held over course and distance last time CATBELLS is given the nod. Yet to win in 15 starts the selection has finally reached a manageable rating and if running as well as he did last time should get off the mark. Baoli looks the danger with Fallon up for the first time. A winner at this track over further two starts ago he was well held last time but based on that run a step back in trip should help. Timocracy is unbeaten in two starts at this track, has been running really well in plating class company and looks fairly treated back in the handicap ranks. A few in with chances but Catbells looks the best weighted.
