Cantabilly may well be the highest rated here and taking a big step down in class but he isn't running well enough to inspire so we give our selection to RAPID CITY while Inquest could also figure The selection has a decent record at this track having scored four times in nine visits. A winner of events like this twice in the last few months he's running as well as he's capable of. True, the latest result seems on the surface disappointing the form of the race has been franked. Inquest is an unexposed type who has shown little signs of improvement. This is his optimal trip with all of the geldings best proved over this distance however, there is little to like about the way he goes about things especially under pressure. Cantabilly is rated five pounds better than any other animal in this field but there is a worry that he is just not performing. That said this is a big step down in class and on these terms should be respected. Jayyid is capable on his day while Street World has some recent winning form to be noted but Rapid City could go to town here.
