Afram Blue, Call Of Duty and Straight And Level look the three to concentrate on here with the tentative nomination going to Call Of Duty. The selection won well on his debut when beating Alcemedas he looks sure to have learnt from the experience and with this in mind he is taken to win again. Afram Blue rates the main danger on his latest third behind Hucking Hope but the suspicion is he will be seen to even better effect over a longer trip. Straight And Level is another that could go well on his best form but he disappointed for no apparent reason last time out so he can not be put forward with much confidence. Of the remainder Mafasina is another that could improve but for the winner we return to the unexposed Call Of Duty.
