In a very tricky contest Revolve is taken to land first prize, Tojoneski and Tuscan Treaty appear to be the main dangers. A race over course and distance last month could hold the key to today's event. Revolve ran out a game winner, beating today's rival Mr Completely by a neck, with another of today's runners Prince Valentine in third and Tojoneski. There are no changes in the weights so there is no reason why the selection should not confirm the form. Tojoneski came from a long way back in that contest and was absolutely flying at the death, if closer to the pace today he should make a race of it. Tuscan Treaty also hit winning form last time when beating Danger Bird at Wolverhampton. He has gone well here in the past and should be vying for some place money. Young Kate is another with place claims, but Revolve looks to be the form horse and this one gets our vote.
