A wide open contest rounds off the card and many would have chances on their best form but the principals ;look to be Polyphon, Signed And Dated and Pacific Highway and the tentative vote is given to Polyphon. The selection was slightly disappointing last time out but prior to that had been in good form. This faster surface looks sure to suit and off what looks a fair mark he looks the one to be on. Signed And Dated rates the main danger on his latest second behind Super Dolphin. He runs off the same mark here and he will not be far away. Pacific Highway disappointed last time but should appreciate the return to this trip so should be monitored in the market. Of the remainder Prince Ajdal was a fair fourth last time out and could run well at a price but in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to Polyphon.
