Ravi River, Hart of Gold and World's Heroine are three against the field in a tough race to call for punters and the vote is given to Ravi River. The selection was a good winner over this course and distance when beating Minos last time out. He is sure to improve and under conditions that suit he will be hard to beat. Hart Of Gold rates the main danger as he won well last time when beating Bid For Glory but that form has since been let down and he looks opposable on that basis. World's Heroine is another last time out winner but he will do well to win from his poor draw. Of the remainder Al Raahi is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he has had plenty of chances and for the winner we return to Ravi River.
