Boncing King Didgital Media and Scrappie are three against the field in an open affair and the narrow vote ios given to Digital Midea The selection was a fair third behind Tot O'Wiskey in a better race last tiome out that form has since been franked and under conditions that suit nher looks the one to be on. Bouncing King rates the main danger on his latest second behind Arctic Echo but the suspicion is he will be seen to better effect over a longer trip in time and he is taken on with this in Mind. Dancers Serenade was a fair sort on the flat and hails from a yard in form so should be closely watched in the market. Scrappie showed improved form to be second last time out but this looks more competitive. Of the remainder Annie's Answer is another in form but for the winner we return to Digital Media who is taken to win this before going on to better things.
