This is a poor maiden in which Sands Crooner, Mister Incredible and Luloah have to form the shortlist and the vote is given to Mister Incredible. The selection had his first crack on this surface last time when a fair third behind Opal Warrior. He returns to the minimum trip today which should suit and he looks the percentage call in a tough race for punters. Sands Crooner did not seem entirely at home last time over this course and distance so looks worth taking on today at the likely odds. Luloah is a lightly-raced filly but she will need to step-up on what she has shown so far to take a hand in the finish here. Bollywood has only had the two runs and certainly improved for his debut effort last time. He may improve again which would give him a strong each-way chance, but for the winner we will stick with Mister Incredible who looks the value bet.
