Chemise has shown signs of ability but faces no easy task, even in this grade, and it is hard to get away from Maybe I Wont, who gets the vote with Desert Life rated the pick of the remainder. The selection has found one too good in each of his last two starts, both in sellers, but Robert Stronge's colt is a proven performer in this grade and looks to have been found a suitable opportunity to resume winning ways. Zahwah is capable but is proving to be hard to win with and has only been placed once from nine starts. La Varrosa is hard to recommend on all known form and of more interest may be Desert Life, who has claims on the pick of his form. Maybe I Wont has solid claims on recent form though and he is hard to oppose.
