Ela La Senza, Red Canyon and Aston Mara are the ones to concentrate on in this tight handicap and the selection is Ela La Senza. The 6-year-old from the Nigel Twiston-Davies yard won well at Perth last time when defeating Some Trainer and although he has risen in the weights, he won with a shade more in hand than the winning margin would suggest. Red Canyon rates the main danger and he is course and distance winner who shaped as though returning to form when sixth behind IrishKawa Bellevue last time. Aston Mara would have a chance on his best form but he is becoming hard to win with. However, the booking of Tony Dobbin catches the eye and he is worthy of respect. The remainder are woefully out of form and are readily opposed, so the confident vote goes to Ela La Senza.
