Capitalise's mark may just be reaching the ceiling of his ability and so narrow preference is for Bob's Your Uncle ahead of Montosari. The selection is a hold up horse and will need plenty of luck in running however he is a talented performer on his day. He returns from a break this afternoon and the betting will provide some further clues; if it speaks in his favour then he may be worth siding with. Capitalise is very consistent but he couldn't quicken clear last time out despite a fair split on the rails and, whilst the likelier better pace today will suit, he may be high enough in the weights. Montosari is a course and distance winner and has claims off what looks a fair mark but Whaxar needs to bounce back to form after disappointing when last seen. Adage and Great View are two who could go well at a price, however we will return to Bob's Your Uncle for the selection.
