This is tougher than the claimer Malibu Alex won here in March but Aalsmeer has beaten Sunday Nap and Going Away Party in the past and finished ahead of CANADA when going close in this grade last time. However, the latter has come on for that outing having just missed out on his latest start and can go one better in this representing a trainer with an impressive strike rate at the track. Uncle Hal won over track and trip when last competing at this lower level and looks a threat on that form.
