Another wide open contest rounds off the card and many have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Mister Incredible, Moon Forest and Memphis Man and the narrow vote is given to Moon Forest. The selection was a fair third behind Imperium last time out, that form looks solid and off the same mark here he looks a value bet although his best form is over a longer trip. Mister Incredible rates the main danger on his latest third behind Union Jack Jackson but all his best form is on the All-Weather and he is taken on with this in mind. Memphis Man remains well weighted on his best form but this hold up performer will need plenty of luck in running and at likely odds he is taken on. Stamford Blue has been in the form of his life of late but looks vulnerable under top weight while Rainbow Bay is on a handy mark and with his stable back amongst the winners he could go well at a price, but Moon Forest looks to have plenty in his favour and he looks the one to be on.
