Dhehdaah gets the confident vote here with Prairie Sun and Celtic Carisma rating the main dangers. The selection was a good second behind Sphinx last time out, that form has since been franked and off the same mark and with this longer trip also in his favour he will be hard to beat. Prairie Sun rates the main danger as he won well last time out when beating Isa'af. However he has another penalty for that win and in a more competitive affair at likely odds he looks worth taking on. Celtic Carisma is another that could go well as he won with plenty in hand when beating Jolezero last time. He looks progressive and should be closely watched in the market. Of the remainder Gone Too Far is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he looks weighted up to his best and he looks vulnerable to a less exposed type and with this in mind for the winner we return to Dhehdaah.
