Ile Michel,Ciccon and Danceinthevalley are three against the field in this competitive handicap and the narrow vote is given to Ile Michel. The selection is well weighted on the Al;l-Weather compared to turf and with the race looking sure to be run to suit he looks the one to be on. Ciccon rates the main danger on his best form and he looks sure to run well now he returns to a more suitable trip. His yard like a tilt at the riung and he should be watched in the market. Danceinthevalley is another worthy of respect as he beat Savoy Chaple with a little in hand last time out. However that was in a seller and this looks more competitive. Marbaa has conditions to suit but looks weighted mup to his best while Piano Man was a fair fourth behind Saawah and is another with place claims but he is hard to win with and with this in mind for the winner we return to Ile Michel.
