Ten Cents gets the confident here Sriology and Majehar rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating It Must Be Speech and although he has a penalty for that win he won with a little in hand and from a good draw he will be hard to beat. Sriology rates the main danger on his latest second behind Desert Lover, the step up in trip should suit and he should be noted in the market, Majehar was a fair third behind Mr Belvedeer but he his hard to win with and again a place looks the best he can hope for. J R Stevenson has dropped to a handy mark and could go well at a price but he has shown very little of late so can not be put forward with any confidence. Of the remainder Hiawatha is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Ten Cents who won well last time out.
