Another tough race to call here for punters with very little between many ofd the leading lights but the principals look to be The Nifty Fox,Now Look Out and Tobermory and the vote is given to The Niffty Fox. The selection was slightly unlucky in running when fourth behind Morinqua, this stiffer course should suit and he looks the one to be on. Now Look Out rates the main danger on his best form but he has not gone on as wexpected and is taken on with this in mind. Tobermory is from a top yard but looks to have plenty of weight for what he has actually achieved. This is a trappy affair and the market will be very informitive but for the winner we return to The Nifty Fox to small stakes.
