Godfrey Street gets the confident vote in another tough handicap with Zahour Al Yasmeen and Millisecond rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating Brunelleschi last time out. He escapes a penalty as that was an apprentice race and off the same mark and under conditions that suit he is taken to win again. Zahour Al Yasmeen rates the main danger on his latest fifth behind Key Two but he just gave the impression he was in the handicappers grip on that occasion and he is taken on with this in mind. Millisecond is another that could go well on his latest fourth behind Ocean Blaze but he has been done no favours by the draw. Westport is another last time out winner that could go well but he looks the stables second string on jockey bookings. Of the others Makers Mark could improve for the fitting of a first time visor and is worth a cautionary look in the market but for the winner we return to the well handicapped Godfrey Street.
