Gaelic Princess gets the confident vote with Dancing Rose and Little Venice rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating Tuscarora with plenty in hand and although she has a penalty for that win she still looks ahead of the handicapper and will be hard to beat under conditions that suit. Dancing Rose rates the main danger as she won well on her first run of the season when beating Chef Scout but this looks tougher and that form has since been let down so she is passed over on this occasion. Little Venice is another worthy of respect now that she is dropping in class but she still looks to have plenty of weight for what she has actually archived and for that reason is overlooked. Of the remainder Dawn Surprise is another dropping in class but showed very little on her first run of the season and with her stable still relatively;y quiet she is passed over on this occasion and for the winner we return to Gaelic Princess.
