Another tough race to call here for punters with mainly out of form rivals in opposition but something has to win and the principals look to be Get To The Point, Prince Valentine and Noorain and the tentative vote is given to Prince Valentine. The selection ran well after a long absence on his first run of the season. He is sure to strip fitter here and in a poor race he looks the value bet. Noorain rates the main danger as he has been in good form of late but he continues to rise in the weights for being beaten and for that reason is opposedGet To the Point is another with place claims now he returns to this grade and he should be monitored in the market. Of the remainder City General has dropped to a handy mark and could go well at a, price from what looks a good draw but he is another that is far from consistent. Doctor Dennis goes well at the track but has yet to win over this trip and for the winner we return to Prince Valentine.
