We will short list Trifti, Parkview Love and Special Place and side with Trifti as the selection. Kabeer is a course and distance winner from a mark of 71 and is now rated 73 so cannot be ruled out. Arctic Desert is another course and distance winner and he is on a competitive mark so holds chances. Trifti is closely weighted with Kabeer based on December course and distance form. Parkview Love is weighted to win based on Wolverhampton seven-furlong form of April 2006 although he was beaten from today's mark last time but is a course and distance winner. Binnion Bay is six pounds better off for two-and-a-half lengths with Parkview Love based on March 9th course and distance form. Special Place was going on well at the end of seven furlongs last time so could be open to improvement at today's trip now, while Certifiable, who has been lightly campaigned in recent times, looks held by Parkview Love based on recent form. It all adds up to a tricky affair, with the selection being Trifti.
