Regal Heights gets the confident vote here with Kentucky Blue and King Revo rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair second behind L'Antartique last time out, that form looks rock solid in the context of this race and under conditions that suit he is taken to score. Kentucky Blue rates the main danger on his latest second behind Ela Re but he will do well to give weight and a beating to the selection. King Revo ran well on his debut but has since dissapointed so can not be put forward with any confidence. Of the remainder Lowsha Green is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but for the winner we return to Regal Heights.
