Ambersong, After Lent and Critical Stage look the three to concentrate on in this claimer with the narrow vote going to Ambersong. The selection was a fair fourth behind Canadian Storm last time out, however this slightly longer trip and stiffer track should suit and under her optimum conditions she looks the one to be on. After Lent rates the main danger on his latest second behind Quotable but consistency is not his strong point and at likely odds he looks worth taking on.Critical Stage is another that could go well now that he drops in class. However he may just need the run after an 137 day absence. Of the remainder Native Commander would be a danger to all if on a going day but that is a big if while the remainder have shown very little and are readily opposed and for the winner we return to Ambersong.
