Polar Haze has been running consistently well and deserves to get his head in front, Kangarilla Road and Sharoura are two of many dangers. Jeff Pearce's eight-year-old rarely gets beaten far and put in another solid display in a Yarmouth handicap last time. In selling company today he is expected to go close at a decent price. Kangarilla Road is very well treated on official ratings and his recent third to Intervision over course and distance catches the eye. He will be hard to keep out of the money. Meanwhile Sharoura can't easily be dismissed on the pick of last season's form. At the time of writing Fox Covert is set to run on Tuesday at Beverley and if he takes part here he should be involved in the finish. So all in all a very tricky seller, but Polar Haze is expected to go close.
