Verdict
Simoski who was a fair third behind Dream With Me a winner again since is taken to score he is from a stable in good form and under similar conditions will be hard to beat. Dusty Democrat showed improved form last time out when second behind Iorana and if he can reproduce that effort he will not be far away but consistency is not his strong suit. Lisa B would also have a chance on her best form but has become disappointing while Boxer's Double is suited by a sharp two miles. Cariad Preseli could run well at a big price he has the most scope for improvement having only run twice and he could be on a fair mark in this low grade affair.
