Fantastisch is impossible to oppose here with Go Figure and Dance Spirit rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating Masterpoint that form looks rock solid in the context of this race and he need only run up to that mark to win this with plenty in hand. Go Figure rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Montana Slim but his best form has come on very fast ground sand he is taken on with this in mind, Dance Spirit has been placed at up to a mile on the flat and will not need to be anything special to take a hand in the finish so should be watched in the market. Of the remainder Second Reef has won off a mark of 53 on the flat and is another to note in the market but for the winner we return to Fantastisch who is taken to put his experiance to good use.
