Boot ¿n Toot is put forward as the selection in this open affair with Najaaba, Island Rapture and Miss Polaris rated as the main dangers. The selection was beaten by Najaaba last time out by a neck, but he re-opposes here on 4lb better terms and he should be capable of reversing the placings. Island Rapture has had plenty of chances without taking one, and although he is capable of going close we are quite happy to take him on. Miss Polaris was a good second behind Sri Diamond last time and this filly remains one of the least exposed in the field. The step up in trip should suit and she is entitled to go well. Tight Squeeze ran well last time and has the services of Kieren Fallon here, so he is another to note, but we are happy to stick with Boot ¿n Toot who looks the one to beat
