A wide open contest rounds of the card and their is very little between many of the leading rivals but the principals look to be Manaar, Jay Gee's Choice and Dr Thong and the tentative vote goes to Manaar. The selection was a good second behind True Night a couple of runs ago before being brought down last time. If his confidence has not been effected he will be hard to beat under conditions that suit. Jay Gee's Choice rates the main danger he was a good third behind Desert Cristal last time and if he gets an easy lead here he would be a danger to all but he will do well to give weight and a beating to the selection. Dr Thong is another worthy of respect but he was slightly disappointing behind Blue Trojan last time and his best form is with more cut in the ground so he is passed over on this occasion. Stablemates Sawwaah and True Night are others with chances but they are have had long seasons and they were disappointing last time so can not be backed with any confidence. Of the remainder Dumnoni was a good second behind King Of Diamonds last time and is another with place claims but for the winner we return to Manaar.
