Another tough race here for punters to call with very little between many of the leading lights but the principals look to be Casa Catalina, Raiding Party and La Chicaluna and the narrow vote is given to Raiding Party. The selection won well last time out when beating Miesko and under similar conditions here she looks a value bet in an open affair. Casa Catalina rates the main danger. She was well beaten in the big sales race at The Curragh last time out but this represents a big drop in class and she should be watched in the market. La Chicaluna is another that could go well on her second behind Choose Your Moment but she has since disappointed for no apparent reason so she cannot be put forward with much confidence. Khandala looks well in on her best form but has been done no favours by the draw. Of the remainder True Time is from a shrewd in-form yard and is another to note in the market but for the winner we return to the unexposed Raiding Party.
