Point Calimere has solid claims on the pick of his two-year-old form but Charlie Egerton's gelding disappointed on his return at Lingfield and we would rather side with Primo Way, who gets the nod over Extremely Rare. The last mentioned has a fitness advantage over the selection having run second in a Catterick maiden last month but that looked a poor contest and the form may not amount to a great deal. Henry Candy's Ela Paparouna showed ability in three starts as a juvenile and warrants respect but was another to disappoint when last seen, although her odds on third behind Oasis Star may be better form than was thought at the time. Bond Shakira should appreciate the faster conditions today than on his reappearance and he is another to consider, along with Velocitas but the vote goes to Primo Way. The Barry Hills-trained colt showed progressive form as a juvenile and, provided that the son of Primo Dominie is fit enough, he looks to be the one that they all have to beat.
