Moody Tunes, Stolen Glance and The Grey One are the three to take against the field and preference is for Moody Tunes. The Grey One has been narrowly beaten into second on his last two starts and handles soft ground. He looks well handicapped and can go well at a nice price. Stolen Glance has won two of his last three starts and showed his liking for soft ground when scoring last time. He appears on the upgrade and will go well despite his six pound penalty which gives him top weight. Moody Tunes stepped up on previous form when scoring on fast ground at Newcastle last time and that was an improved effort. He was backed that day and carried a lot of confidence. Moody Tunes may be capable of following up.
