A chance is taken with Blue Power, who can again get the better of course specialist Henry Tun, while Boisdale also goes well here and is unexposed at the minimum trip. Chatshow also has the form to go close at this level and is anther that has to be respected. However, the four-year-old has looked held off this sort of mark recently and others may again have his measure. Boisdale usually finishes his races well but should have the pace to gain a prominent position from the gates. Still, it is confusing that he tries this trip for only the fifth time and there has to be the suspicion that at least one will be sharper. Henry Tun has several excellent efforts to his name at this course and cannot confidently be ruled out. However, the selection has taken his measure comfortably in their last two encounters and has everything in place to extend the run today. Trainer, Karl Burke has his string in good order at present and this son of Zieten can do his bit to boost the coffers if does himself justice this afternoon.
