Lady Benjamin, Gin Genereux and Taurian look the three to concentrate on in this competitive claimer and the vote is given to Lady Benjamin. The selection won in facile fashion last time out when beating Romantic Destiny in a handicap. This looks easier and with her yard continuing in good form she is taken to win again. Gin Genereaux rates the main danger on his best form but he was very disappointing behind Style Award last time out. However he should be suited by this better ground and he should be watched in the market. Taurian is another that could go well on his latest sixth behind Vhujon. However he looks to have plenty of weight and he is taken on with this in mind. Of the remainder, Tintorero showed improved form when fourth behind Atram Blue last time and is another with place claims but Lady Benjamin looks progressive and is taken to win again.
