A large field goes to post for the opening contest. However on closer inspection not many can be given a serious chance of winning. Robespierre, To Wit Woo, and Diaphanous are all sure to have there supporters but we prefer to stick with Penelewy. The Henry Candy trained filly was a good second behind Bi Polar last time out and a reproduction of that effort would make her hard to beat. Robespierre rates the main danger on his third behind Fellow Ship and any easing in the ground would help his cause. Diaphanous has had plenty of chances in similar grade and place claims look his best hope again. To Wit To Woo is another that has shown a modicum of ability and is from a yard in form so is worth a cautionary look in the market. The remainder need to improve on all known form to take a hand in the finish.
