A wide open seller here and many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Lightning Star, It's Wallace and Just Midas and the vote goes to the last named. The selection has been running in better races of late and was a fair fifth behind Monksford last time, he will find this grade much easier and under conditions that suit he will be hard to beat.Lightning Star rates the main danger he was a good second behind Paugatcheva last time and he remains on a good mark. It's Wallace is another worthy of respect he was a good second behind It's Wallace Jnr last time but his best form has come with slightly more cut in the ground and he will do well to give weight and a beating to the selection. Of the remainder Grand Prompt is from a shrewd yard and is worth a cautionary look in the market but for the winner we return to Just Midas.
