Lambrini Bianco, Carriage Ride and Red Perk are three against the field in another tough race to call for punters and the tentative vote is given to Carriage Ride. The selection is well weighted on his best form despite top weight and is sure to have come on for his latest run. He has conditions to suit and in an open affair he looks the value bet. Lambrini Bianco rates the main danger as he landed a gamble in good style last time out when beating Cyanara. However he has a penalty for that win and his best form is on a faster surface so he is passed over on this occasion. Red Perk is game and consistent and is sure to run his race and he was a fair second behind Lanzlo last time out but he looks weighted up to his best. Billy Ballbreaker is another with place claims on his best form but he looked in the handicappers grip when fourth behind Petolinski off this mark last time out. Of the remainder Another Club Royal is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but in a race that throws up more questions than answers for the winner we return to Carriage Ride.
