Swiss Act has run to a decent level of form in both starts so far and Mark Johnston's colt is hard to oppose in a race that lacks any real strength in depth with the main dangers looking likely to come from Hohlethelonely and Wanessa Tiger. The last mentioned showed some improvement from her debut spin but would need to improve again to trouble the selection. Tonnante has shown signs of ability in her two starts so far but is likely to do better over middle distances next term, while Bret Maverick has given little sign for encouragement so far. Hohlethelonely is a nicely related son of Medicean and could be of interest first time out but Swiss Act sets a decent standard and is hard to oppose.
