A tough race to call here for punters with very little between many of the leading lights but the principals look to be Screen Test, Trompette and Ellway Prospect and the vote is given to Screen Test. The selection was a good second on her debut behind Opera de Coeur is sure to have learnt from the experience and given nominal improvement will be hard to beat. Trompette rates the main danger on her debut third in the same race but she was behind the selection last time and there is no reason why she should gain her revenge here on exactly the same terms. Ellway Prospect won well last time when beating A Bit Of Fun but she will do well to give weight and a beating to some unexposed types under her penalty.Meakabreak is game and consistent and is sure to run her race but connections have still not found her trip. Of the remainder Giovanna is a nice type and is one to bear in mind for the future but she may just need the run after a 312 day absence and for the winner we return to Screen Test.
