Dressed To Dance, Strathmore and Pennyrock look the three main protagonists in another trappy affair and the nomination is given to Strathmore. The selection was a fair fifth behind Pusey Street Lady last time out. This looks easier and as he goes particularly well at the track; he looks the one to be on. Dressed To Dance rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Kandakova but all his best form is on a fast surface and he is taken on with this in mind. Pennyrock is another that could go well on his best form but he ran as if in the handicapper's grip last time out. Of the remainder, La Marmotte goes well at the track and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Strathmore.
