First Generation gets the confident vote to win this seller with Zarova and Triple Zero rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair fourth behind Code Orange in a maiden last time out over six furlongs when he was doing all his best work at the finish. The drop in class and step up in distance looks sure to suit and he will be hard to beat. Zarova rates the main danger on his best form which saw him finish second behind Dane's Rock. However he has since disappointed but the return to this faster surface should suit and he should be closely monitored in the market as his astute yard are in top form. Triple Zero is another worthy of respect as he is another dropping in grade but he has been disappointing of late so can not be put forward with any confidence. Spring Time Girl could go well at a price on her latest fourth behind Sabo Prince especially as she is another that will be suited by this longer trip. Of the remainder Desert Buzz is from a yard in form and could run well at a price but in a race that contains plenty of dead wood for thew winner we return to First Generation.
