Eldorado gets the confident vote here with Nakwa, Let It Be and Linden Lime,. The selection was a good second behind Rehearsed last time out, that form has since been franked and under similar conditions here he need only reproduce that effort to win this with a little hand. Nakwa rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind River Lodgi but he looks weighted up to his best and is becoming hard to win with so he looks worth taking on.Let It Be is another that could go well on his best form but he is another that looks weighted up to the hilt. Of the remainder Golden Boot has dropped to a handy mark but is better with more cut in the ground and with this in mind for the winner we return to Eldorado.
