Faddad gets the confident vote here with The Holy Bee and New Time rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating San Marco last time out and although having a penalty for that win he won with a little in hand and under similar conditions here he is taken to defy the handicapper. The Holy Bee rates the main danger as he also won well last time out when beating Tocolino but this looks tougher and his penalty may just find him out. New Time is another worthy of respect as he is another last time out winner he beat Maximus last time but that form has since been let down. Of the remainder Mick Divine is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is hard to win with and for the winner we return to Faded.
