A wide open bumper rounds off the card and as usual in these races the market will be very informitive but the principals look to be Knockara Luck (, Little Sioux and Our Joycey and the vote is given to Knockara Luck. The selection won well on his debut when beating Karawa. Granted he has a penal;ty for that win but he has plenty of scope for improvement and under conditions that suit he is taken to win again/. Little Sioux as she hails from a yard that does well in this sphere and this mare by Little Bighorn will not need to be anything special to take a hand in finish. Our Joycey is another worthy of respect on her latest second behind Not For Diamonds but the suspicion is she will be seen to better effect over a longer trip and for that reason is opposed. Of the remainder Bonnie Rock has shown ability in two runs to date but does not appear to get home over this trip and for the winner we return to Knockara Luck.
