Cloud Dancer, Yenaled and Creskeld look the three to concentrate on in another competitive handicap and the vote goes to Cloud Dancer. The selection won well last time out when defeating Kalani Star and although he is rising in the weights he will appreciate this return to a longer trip and will be hard to beat in a race that looks sure to be run to suit. Yenaled rates the main danger as he was a fair third behind Naassiria last time but his best form of late has been over a longer trip and for that reason he is opposed. Creskeld ran as if about to hit form when third behind Red Contact last time and he remains on the same mark so he should be noted in the market. Wake is from a top yard and is another that could go well having been a good second behind Del Mar Sunset last time but he looked very one paced on that occasion. Of the remainder Danelor is from a shrewd yard and is another to note in the market but for the winner we return to Cloud Dancer.
