Letham Island has looked a winner in waiting and she gets the confident vote ahead of the exposed Bert's Memory and newcomer Danish Rebel. The selection represents a stable in tremendous form at present, and can build on her three previous runs to get her head in front. Bert's Memory is still a maiden after nine runs, and although consistent, he does have the profile of a punters nightmare so he is easily passed over. Inflagrantedelicto ran well in a seller last time out so could gain some place money again, whilst newcomer Danish Rebel would not have to be anything special to gain some place money at the least. For the winner though we return to Letham Island to continue Mark Johnston's run of good form.
