This is a tough race to call, but TEENANDO won well last time and he can follow-up at the main expense of Super Baby and Mongorno. The selection looks a progressive type and he certainly won well enough last time out when he beat Sammy Spiderman here. That win should have boosted his confidence, but the key to his chance today is the ground and he will relish these underfoot conditions. Super Barry deserves to get his head in front again as he has been knocking on the door for a while, but this drop in trip is not sure to play to his strengths. Mongorno has yet to prove that he is at his best on heavy ground and for that reason he is taken on. Jordan's Light is another that is unproven on the ground but he was a fair sort on the flat and he can't be ruled out. But after his win last time Teenando could be one to stay on the right side of and he is put forward as the choice.
