A trappy contest gets proceedings underway with very little between many of the leading lights but the principals look to be Wally Wonder, On Hiz Tiptoes and Physical Force and the nomination is given to Wally Wonder. The selection was a fair third behind Tickateal last time out, this looks easier and with the drop in trip also looking to be in his favour he looks the one to be on. On Hiz Tiptoes rates the main danger as he won well last time out when beating Daldini but he will find this tougher under his penalty. Physical Force is another that could go well on his latest fourth behind Manners, that form has since been franked but he has had plenty of chances and is becoming expensive to follow. Royal Master is from a shrewd in form yard and is worth a cautionary look in the market. Of the remainder Litron is sure to strip fitter for his latest run and is another with place claims but for the winner we are happy to return to Wally Wonder.
