This looks a match between Ardashir and Fantastic Champion and the vote goes to Ardishar. The selection has been in fair form of late notably when defeating Holland Park a couple of runs ago and then he was far from disgraced in a class B handicap behind Kerelo last time, a reproduction of that effort should suffice in this company. Fantastic Champion rates the only conceivable danger. He was a fair fourth behind True Lover last time but he will need to improve on that effort to defeat the selection. Lake O' Gold and Valley Warrior have shown very little and are readily opposed and for the winner we return to Ardishar.
