A poor seller here but something has to win and the principals look to be My Drop, Bungie and Nepos and the narrow vote is given to My Drop. The selection was a fair third behind Telltime last time out, this represents a drop in class and from a good draw he looks the one to be on. Bungie rates the main danger on his latest fouth behind La Quinta but he has only won on the all-weather and he is taken on with this in mind. Nepos is another dropping in grade but he has had plenty of chances and his best form is over a longer trip. Of the remainder Go Imperial is unexposed and could improve but for the winner we return to My Drop to small stakes.
