Only a head separated Fairgame Man and Musiotal over course and distance last month and the last mentioned is taken to reverse form on 1lb better terms with Quantica rated the best of the remainder. The selection was not helped last time as most of the field raced on the far side but there may be a more even spread today and, from stall 14, Jim Goldie's gelding is taken to make the most of a draw in stall 14. The three-year-old Binty is less exposed than most of these but faces a more difficult task than when opening her account in a Yarmouth maiden last time. Borodinsky has to race off a career high mark and of more interest may be Legal Set, who is a consistent performer at this level. Fairgame Man has the beating of Azuree on running over course and distance last month and is another to consider, even on the revised terms. A market move for Choreographic would be of interest but of more interest may be Quantica, who won well at Yarmouth last time and is only 2lbs higher in the weights now but that was over seven furlongs and the return to six may not be ideal. The vote then goes to Musiotal, who would hardly be winning out of turn.
