Spring Dream, Topflight Wildbird and Gaze are three against the field in this competitive opener and the vote is given to Spring Dream. The selection has won her last two races in good style notably when beating Warsaw Pact last time. Granted this looks tougher but she looks a progressive type and with her yard continuing in good form she looks the one to be on. Topflight Wildbird rates the main danger as she also won well last time out when beating Hansomell, this looks tougher and all her best form is with more cut in the ground and for that reason she is opposed. Graze was a fair third behind Corum and looks on a handy mark especially as this longer trip should suit and she should be noted in the market. Bouquet is from a yard in form but looks high enough in the weights for what she has achived while Pataxaran is another that looks weighted up to the hilt and with this in mind for the winner we return to Spring Dream.
