Native Commander gets the confident vote here with Amnesty and Isam Top rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair second behind Longstone Lady last time out. That form looks rock solid in the context of this race and under conditions that suit he need only run up to that mark to win this. Amnesty rates the main danger on his latest seventh behind Picot De Say. However he is far from straight forward and although his stable are in top for he looks worth taking on at likely odds. Isam Top is another that could go well on his latest third behind Honan but if this were a handicap he would be better off with some of these rivals and with this in mind he looks worth taking on. Of the remainder 1 Dance With Wolves has the ability to go close but does not always ordain to use it and with this in mind for the winner we return to the consistent Native Commander.
