High Ridge, Cherokee Nation and Go Yellow are three against the field in this classified stakes race and the tentative vote goes to the last named. The selection had some well fancied rivals behind him when defeating Lake Charlotte last time out. The drop in trip is not sure to suit beat he looked to have plenty of pace on that occasion and he is taken to win again. Cherokee Nation rates the main danger he was a fair third behind Commando Scott last time and that form has since been franked so he will not be far away. High Ridge won well last time out when defeating Rectangle but this looks tougher and he will need to improve again to score. Of the remainder Generous Gesture is from a yard in form and is worth noting in the market but his form literally indicates he has a little to find and for the winner we return to Go Yellow.
