Fluff ' N' Puff is the percentage pick in a horrific race for punters with Stormy Skye and Loose Morals rated the dangers. None of these runners are particularly consistent but Fluff 'N' Puff does at least stay the trip and if the veteran is in the mood, he might just consent to plug on and pilfer the prize. Stormy Skye is a moody individual and is very inconsistent at best. Often driven from some way out, the rider will earn his fee. Loose Morals is still a maiden after six starts under rules although he ran as if needing the run on his latest outing and may be capable of some progression. Roman Rampage needs it hock deep to be at his best and two "pulled ups" hardly inspire confidence. Colony Hill is watched in the market. This is arguably the most difficult race on the card due to a number of imponderables and we select Fluff 'N' Puff as the token selection.
