Another tough race here for punters to work out with very little between many of the leading lights but the principals look to be Let It Be, Ego Trip and Sovereign State and the vote goes to Let It Be. The selection was a fair second behind Restart last time out and although that form has since been let down this faster surface will suit and he will be hard to beat. Ego Trip rates the main danger on his best form but he has not progressed as expected and the fact that his shrewd connections have applied blinkers is also off putting. Sovereign State is another worthy of respect he was a good second behind Zarn last time out but that was over a longer distance and the drop in trips not sure to suit. Chevin is another that would go well on his best form but he disappointed for no apparent reason last time so he can not be backed with any confidence. Of the remainder Muslin is from a shrewd yard and will appreciate the step up in trip but in a race that throws up more questions than answers for the winner we return to Let It Be.
