Song Huntress, Par Excellence and Martharum look the three to concentrate on in this trappy seller and the tentative vote is given to Song Huntress. The selection won well last time out in similar grade when beating Tombalina and need only ruin up to that mark again to win this poor affair. Par Excellance rates the main danger on his latest second behind Garstang but he looked a short runner on that occasion so this stiff track looks against him and for that reason he is opposed. Martharum was behind Par Excellence last time but pulled to hard for her own good on that occasion and if she settles better her she will be a danger to all. Of the remainder Bloodstocktv would have a chance on his debut running but has since regressed and in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to Song Huntress.
