Takhleed,Roodeye,Abientot and Fantaisiste are a handful against the field in a tough race to call for punters and the narrow vote is given to Roodeye. The selection was an unlucky in running sixth behind Resplendent Glory last time out. This looks easier and under conditions that suit he is taken to regain the winning thread. Takhleed rates the main danger as he won a maiden in good style last time out when beating Anchor Date but he returns to handicaps off what looks a high enough and for that reason he is opposed. Abientot is another worthy of respect on his best form but he just gave the impression the handicapper had caught up with him when eighth behind Canadian Danehill last time and he needs to improve again to win off this mark. Fantaisiste was a fair second behind Yamalo last time out and is one of the least exposed so has cope for improvement and should be noted in the market. Of the remainder Flying Ridge is another that could go well on his best form of last season but he has a 277 day absence to over come and for that reason he is opposed. This is a trappy affair but something has to win and for the winner we return to Roodeye.
