Tokyo Jo, Emma Told Lies and Mollyanko form the shortlist in this seller to open the card and the vote is given to Tokyo Jo. The selection was a close second behind Spinning Game at Ripon last time, finishing well clear of the third. Her yard continue in good form, she has a fair draw and she will handle the ground so she stands out as the one to beat. Emma Told Lies finished behind our selection last time and there is no obvious reason why those placings should be reversed here. However, she will go on the ground and she should be able to claim some place money. Mollyanko is an interesting newcomer as this filly is well-bred and her stable are flying at present. She is worth noting in the market as she does have a good draw. Stablemate Brynris has the plum draw and is another to consider, but for the winner we will stick with Tokyo Jo.
