Leslingtaylor, Nero's Return and Go Solo are three against the field in another tough race to call for punters and the vote is given to Leslingtaylor. The selection has won his last two races in good style and although rising in the weights he looks a progressive type and, under conditions that suit, he is taken to win again. Nero's Return rates the main danger as he beat Incursion in good style last time out. That form has since been franked and he should be watched in the market. Go Solo is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but his best form is on a faster surface. Of the remainder Dream Prize is unexposed and is from a big yard and is another to note in the market and in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to Leslingtaylor.
