With September Harvest only making up the numbers this really should lie between the other four runners. Ian Semple's Sarraaf did not beat a great deal to win an Epsom claimer last time, especially with his main market rival Lucky Archer running no sort of race. He is best left alone. Muchea does not win very often and, with Man Of Distinction seemingly better on the all-weather than on turf, the TEAMtalk vote goes to Blue Sky Thinking. Karl Burke's gelding was bought to go racing in Hong Kong but, after picking up an injury, stayed in this country and his owners were rewarded with success in an Epsom maiden last month. As the two nearest horses in that race were rated 84 and 85 it would appear the son of Danehill Dancer is well treated and he can continue to make up for lost time.
