Little Lu is anticipated to be too good for Ursis and Mister Benedictine. The selection is another of the Dom Flit "production line" and has shaped well in a couple of bumpers. Capable of handling seemingly any surface, the question is whether the handicapper has been able to do his sums correctly. Ursis was a useful chaser on his day. He isn't as well treated over hurdles as he once was but made all in some style at this track last time out. Mister Benedictine reverts to hurdling have endured thrills and spills over the larger obstacles. He would have no problems in the event of any inclement weather. Jazz Scene is prone to throwing in the odd bad run. He has to beat a career high mark this evening. Lemon Silk has given his connections many a big day out. This is a drop in class and his latest run here was arguably his best for quite some time. Moon Star barely stays this trip and will do well to give weight all around. Golden Alchemist and Day To Remember are not frequent winners and have shown little of late. Little Lu is the pick.
