Bowl of Cherries, Wodhill Gold and Frank's Quest are three against the field in a wide open affair and the narrow vote is given to Bowl Of Cherries. The selection was a good second behind Green Pirate last time out, tjhat form looks rock solid and off the same mark here he will be hard to beat. Woodhill Gold rates the main danger on his latest second behind Miss Porcia but he is becomming hard to win with and is taken on with this in mind. Frank's Quest is another that could go well but he looks weighted up to his best. Of the remainder Hilltop Fantasy is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but for the winner we return to Bowl Of Cherries who is in the form of his life.
