A wide open contest here and many would have chances on their best form buyt the principals look to be City Streets, Scarlet Mix and Purple Patch with the vote going to Scarlet Mix. The selection won well last time out when beating Flurette and although rising in the weights he has lots more to offer over this trip and looks the one to be on. City Streets rates the main danger as he won well on his debut when beating Just Supposin and can only improve. However he will do well to beat hese battle hardened handicapers and at likely odds he looks wort taking on. Purple Patch is another that could go well on his latest second behind Gala Evening but he has yet to win over this trip. Of the remainder Magical Quest could improve for this longer trip while Colline de Fleurs hails from a yard in form and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Scarlet Mix.
