A wide open seller gets proceedings underway but the main protagonists look to be Executive Paddy, Zeloso and Executive Hero and the narrow vote is given to Executive Paddy. The selection has won his last two races in good style noteably when beating Share My Draem last time out, he again has conditions to suit and with this slightly longer trip sure to bring about more improvement he looks the one to be on. Zeloso rates the main danger as he also won well last time out when defeating Saucy Knight last time out, he escapes a penalty for that win and with his yard continuing in good form he will not be far away. Relative Hero is another that could go well on his latest second behind Rushneeriver but he is becoming hard to win with. Of the remainder Heisse is dropping in class and with his yard back amongst the winners he should be noted in the market while Shamwari Fire is unexposed and is another that could improve but for the winner we return to Executive Paddy who is in the form of his life.
