A large field goes to post for this seller but on closer inspection not many can be given a serious chance of winning and the principals look to be Alikat, Devito and King's Mountain and the confident vote goes to Alikat. The selection is from a top yard and was a fair third in a better race behind Young Elodie last time and with the drop in grade sure to suit she will be hard to beat. Devito is another from a top yard and he was a fair fifth behind Lorainovich last time and he will not be far away under conditions that suit. Kings Mountain is another worthy of respect he was well beaten in a handicap last time but he should appreciate the drop in trip. Mabel Riley is another with place claims on her best form but she has had plenty of chances and is becoming hard to win with. Of the remainder Relative Hero is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Alikat.
