A wide open seller here and many can be given a chance on their best form but the principals look to be Grand Prairie, Sarena Special and Breezer and the tentative vote is given to Sarena Special. The selection was a fair third behind Killing Me Softly last time out and with this slightly longer trip sure to suit she is taken to score. Grand Prairie has the form to win this in the book but although he travels well in his races he tends to throw in the towel when the going gets tough and at likely odds he looks worth opposing. Breezer is another worthy of respect as he is taking a drop in class and he was a fair fifth behind Damariscoat in a much better race last time out so he should be noted in the market. Mersey Mirage showed improved form to be third behind Barneys Reflection last time and remains at the right end of the weights but his over all profile leaves him with a little to find. Of the remainder Rocket Bleu has dropped to a handy mark and could go well at a price but he has been let down by his jumping of late and in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to Sarena Special.
