A wide open contest rounds off the card and River Kintyre looks the one to be with, although Silver Crest and Becktara should given him plenty to think about. The selection was a good fourth on his debut behind Phantom Whisper. He is sure to have come on for the run and with his stable now in much better form and from a good draw he should go well. Silver Crest rates the main danger on his debut second behind Lyrical Blues. He did very well to get so close to the winner that day as he dwelt badly at the start and he is another that is sure to improve. The draw is a big negative for him and on that basis he is overlooked. Becktara was in mid-division behind Dusty City last time and will need to step-up on that effort to get competitive here. Of the remainder, Active Account was a good third on his debut behind Bow Bridge and that form has since been franked. His stable have a good record here so he is respected, but for the winner we will stick with River Kintyre.
