Salut Saint Cloud,gets the confident vote here with Blue Hills and Eforetta rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating Blue Hills and although that rival is better off at the weights the selection won with a little in hand and he is taken to win again. Blue Hills rates the main danger on these revised terms but the suspicion is he may come out second best again. Eforetta another that won well last time out when beating Makorim. However this looks more competitive and his penalty may just catch him out. Of the remainder Peak Park is taking a big drop in class and is worth noting in the market but Salut Saint Cloud won well last time and he is taken to win again.
