A tough one to call but Day To Remember has shown enough in his two starts to date to suggest he is more than capable of winning a race of this nature and he is selected over Evaluator, Imperial Dragon and Colour Code, who should all find their level once they take on handicap company. As will Poule De Luxe, who is sure to improve when she is upped in trip as time goes on. El Chaparral is another interesting runner as he made a good impression when he was last seen out. However, he does have a long absence to overcome and may be best watched this afternoon on his first start for his new yard. The same comments apply to Keyaki, who makes her racecourse bow this afternoon. The daughter of Shinko Forest hails from a yard that enjoyed their best season for quite some time last term and races will no doubt be found for her in due course. However, Day To Remember really caught the eye in defeat when he was last seen out and is given the slender vote of preference today. The Alec Stewart-trained son of Daylami has an impeccable pedigree and can pay off the first chunk of his 50,000gns purchase price if successful today.
