Silsong is narrowly preferred here to the likes of Amberlina and Miss Amour in this trappy affair. The selection was a fair third behind Danzare last time and although she has yet to totally convince that she sees out this trip, we are prepared to give her one more chance. Amberlina rates the main danger as she put up a cracking effort at Fairyhouse last time when second behind Flashy Beau. However, some of her form has also been pretty moderate so she is difficult to put forward with any confidence. Miss Amour does go well here but her best form has been over 1m and for that reason we will oppose her today. Nightwing would have claims on the pick of his form but he is another doubtful stayer, and we will return to Silsong who looks the one to beat.
