Fox Covert, Miss Porcia and Obe Bold look the three to concentrate on in a tough race to call for punters and the narrow vote is given to Miss Porcia. The selection was a fair fifth behind Tyzach last time out and with the drop in trip in her favour and from a good draw she looks the value bet in an open affair. Fox Covert rates the main danger on his best form but all his best efforts have come on turf and he looks opposable on that basis. Obe Bold is another worthy of respect on his latest third behind Hello Roberto but he is far from consistent so can not be put forward with any confidence. On The Trail, is another that has dropped to a handy mark and could go well at a price but he has been done no favours by the draw. Of the remainder Danakim is from a yard in form and the booking of Darryll Holland catches the eye but for the winner we return to Miss Porcia.
