Sweet Oona, Makeabreak and Methodical look the three to concentrate on in this competitive affair and the confident vote is given to Sweet Oona. The selection will relish the conditions and won well last time out when beating Rowlands Dream. Granted she has a penalty for that win but as she is proven on the ground she is taken to win again. Makeabreak rates the main danger on her latest fourth behind Trompette but she has been tried over a variety of trips without success and is beginning to look tripless and at likely odds she looks worth taking on. Methodical is another worthy of respect as she was a place in front of Makeabreak last time but her best form is on a much faster surface and for that reason she is overlooked. Of the remainder, Fuss is sure to improve for his debut fifth behind Anticipating and is one to note in the market but in a race where few can be given a serious chance of winning we will return to Sweet Oona who looks the one to beat.
