Upright Ima, Think Quick and Picot de Say look the three to concentrate on here with the vote going to the last named. The selection won well last time out and although he has a penalty for that win he won with plenty in hand and he is taken to win again under conditions that suit. Think Quick rates the main danger on his latest third behind Proprioception but that form has since been let down and he looks to be on a high enough mark. Upright Ima was a good second behind Imperial Royale last time and is another that could go well but he is still a maiden and for that reason he is opposed. Of the remainder Rainbow Tree is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but in a race where the market will be all important for the winner we return to Picot De Say who won well last time out.
