An intriguing contest despite the small field but the TEAMtalk selection has to be Dadeland to complete a hat-trick. Mick Easterby's charge has hit a rich vein of form and was an easy five-length winner on similar ground at Ayr last week and should be hard to beat off the same mark. Portacasa has risen sharply in the weights of late and was beaten off his revised rating at Leicester last night but Muwassi is the least exposed and shapes as though the step up to this trip will suit so could give tthe selection most to do.
