It's not possible to make a decent case for any of this bunch. Bladewood Girl would have claims if taking part but was due to run here last night. STRATEGIC ACTION has been in better form over 6f here of late and should be in the mix with a similar effort, though there's no guarantee of that. Buaiteoir made the frame over track and trip earlier but reverted to type last time and Pastoral Dancer's second here in January now looks like a fluke. The veteran Vitznau is back on a winning mark, but like the rest of these, is hard to recommend.
