Another tough handicap to call here for punters with many holding chances on their best form but the main protagonists look to be Koquelicot, Pharaway Citizen,Cobreces, Mr Dow Jones and the tentative vote goes to the last named. The selection was a good second behind Audburn Spirit last time and although he is rising in the weights he will be hard to beat with this faster ground sure to suit. Koquelicot rates the main danger on his best form but he has yet to conclusively prove he stays this far so for that reason he is opposed. Pharaway Citizen is another worthy of respect he has been in the form of his life of late and a reproduction of his latest win over Echo du Lac would see him go close but he will find it harder under another penalty. Cobreces is another that could go well he is on a fair mark but is another that is not proven over the trip. Of the remainder Restless Wind is a course and distance winner who has conditions to suit and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Mr Dow Jones.
