Verdict

Cash On Friday gets the confident vote here with Loaded Dice and Ocarina rating the main dangers. The selection was a good second behind Pillaging Pict last time out, that form looks solid and off the same mark here he is taken to regain the winning thread. Loaded Dice rates the main danger on his best form but he disappointed for no apparent reason on his first start of the season and although he could improve for first time blinkers he still looks worth taking on. Ocarina was a fair fourth behind Cloudmore when last seen but that form has since been let down. Tuatara Bay is from a shrewd in form yard and should be watched in the market while Tully Cross could improve for the fitting of first time cheek pieces but he will need to do so to beat the selection Cash On Friday.
