In the nursery, Ghetto is selected ahead of Siberian Tiger and Mizooka. Ghetto came good at the second time of asking at Newmarket last time. Admittedly, that win came on soft going but he should be okay on today's surface, looks progressive and, with many of the opposition looking modest, has to be considered a key player today. Mizooka had shown good promise prior to scoring over course and distance last time and, even though each of his runs has come when the word soft appeared in the going description, he could yet go well. Siberian Tiger had been attracting rave home reviews prior to his racing career beginning and the penny may have dropped now judged on his Newmarket win last time. Grant him plenty of respect. For us, these are the key players, with the selection being Ghetto.
