Rosetown , Gee Aker Malayo and Cool Song are three against the field in another tough race to call for punters and the vote is given to Rosetown. The selection won in game fashion last time out when beating Fieldsofclover and although having a penalty for that win he is still well weighted on his best form of last season and with the step up in trip sure to bring about some more improvement he will be hard to beat. Gee Aker Malayo rates the main danger on his best form but he may just need the run after a 268 day absence and for that reason he looks worth taking on. Cool Song is another worthy of respect on his latest second behind Boardroom Dancer but that form has since been let down and he looks vulnerable off this mark. Of the remainder Regal River was a fair third behind Lanmire tower last time and could run well at a price but his best form is with more cut in the ground and for the winner we return to Rosetown who won well last time out.
