Obrigado, Tony Tie, True Night and Raphael look the principals in another wide open contest and the tentative vote goes to Tony Tie. The selection won well last time out when defeating Stoic Leader and although he is rising in the weights that form looks rock solid in the context of this race and with conditions again in his favour he will be hard to beat. Obrigado rates the main danger he won well last time out when defeating Winning Venture but this looks much more competitive and for that reason he is opposed. True Night has been at the top of his game of late but he just gave the impression the handicapper was catching up with him when third behind Nashaab last time and he is overlooked here. Raphael is another that could go well he was second behind Efidium last time and he is better off at the weights with that rival here so again their should be little between them. Of the remainder Qualitair Wings and African Sahara have dropped to handy marks and worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Tony Tie.
