Nerone, Planters Punch and Acceleration are three against the field in another headscrateher for punters and the vote is given to Planters Punch. The selection was a fair second behind Bollin Thomas last time out and off the same mark here and under conditions that suit he is taken to score. Nerone rates the main danger on his best form but he was very disappointing behind Lennon last time out. However this looks easier and he should be noted in the market but he looks weighted up to his best. Acceleration is another last time out winner that could go well but his best form is on a fast surface and he would not want any more rain. Lerida is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he looks vulnerable to a less exposed type. Of the remainder Tiger King looks sure to have the race run to suit but Planters Punch has everything in his favour and he is taken to score.
