Ever Present, Kitski and Curly Spencer are three against the field in a tough race to0 call for punters and the narrow vote is given to Ever Present. The selection won well when last seen beating See You There with a little in hand he again has conmditions to suit and he looks the value bet in an open affair. Kitski rates the main danger on his latest third behind Haks Landing, that form has since been franked and he will not be far away but he looks vulnerable to a less exposed rival. Curly Spencer is another that could go well on his lates second behind Another Raleagh but he is hard to win with. Of the remainder Vicario is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Ever Present.
