A terrible seller here and not many can be given a serious chance of winning but the principals look to be Hunting Pink, Noble Pursuit and Aguila Loco and the vote goes to Hunting Pink. The gelding from the Hugie Morrison yard was a a fair third behind Rare Coincidence last time in similar grade and a reproduction of that effort will make him hard to beat. Noble Pursuit rates the main danger he was a fair second in a claimer behind Miss Champers last time but consistency has never been his strong point. Aguila Loco is another that could go well he was second in a handicap last time behind It¿s Ecco Boy last time and if he can reproduce that effort he would be a danger to all but for the winner we return to Hunting Pink who is more consistent than most.
