Cool Hunter was most impressive when winning at Windsor recently and should go close in his follow up bid, however Our Teddy is nicely treated on his best form and he gets a narrow vote, Lucayan Dancer may do best of the others. Paul Blockley's six-year-old was rated 108 as a three-year-old but has amazingly only won two races in his career. He put in some very decent efforts in defeat last season and starts this campaign on a very fair mark. The stable is going well and he appears to go on any ground so he could be worth a sporting wager. Cool Hunter could be called the winner a long way out in that Windsor contest and there could be plenty more to come. Meanwhile Lucayan Dancer has been in good form this season and put in another solid display last time when chasing home Aleron at Hamilton. In a wide open contest Speed Dial Harry and Little Bob also have claims on their best form, but Our Teddy is long overdue another victory and today could be the day.
