Strabinios King, Five Wishes and Rann Na Cille look the three to concentrate on here and the narrow vote is given to Strabinios King. The selection made all and won well in good style last time out when beating Storm Path and although rising in the weights he looks progressive and under similar conditions here he is taken to win again. Five Wishes rates the main danger on his latest second behind Coconut Queen especially as the drop in trip looks sure to suit. Rann Na Cille is another that could go well on his best form but he dissapointed for no apparent reason last time out so he can not be put forward with any confidence. Of the remainder Falcon's Fire and Rebel Pearl are game and consistent and are sure to run his race but they are hard to win with and for the winner vwe return to Strabinios King.
