Bahia Breeze, Tipsy Lillie and Island Swing are three against the field in this poor opener and the confident vote goes to Bahia Breeze. The selection was a fair eighth in a listed race behind Obe Gold last time beaten only four and a half lengths he again has conditions to suit and is impossible to oppose in what looks an easier race. Tipsy Lillie rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Megell but he gave the impression that he would be suited by further and for that reason he is opposed. Island Swing is another worthy of respect he was a fair fourth behind Coconut Squeak and that would give him definite place claims but he is more exposed than most and for that reason he is opposed. Of the remainder Beau Marche won well last time when defeating Pinafore but this looks tougher and for the winner we return to Bahia Breeze.
