Giorgio gets the confident vote here with He's Hot Right Now and Nephite rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating Galway Breeze and although he has a penalty for that win he won with plenty in hand and under his optimum conditions here he is taken to follow up. He's Hot Right Now rates the main danger as he has been in good form over hurdles of late and was a fair second behind Ton-chee last time out. He returns to chasing off what looks a fair mark and he should be noted in the market. Nephite is another worthy of respect on his latest second behind the Staggery Boy but his best form is over a longer trip and for that reason he is passed over on this occasion. Of the remainder Fiery Peace has conditions to suit and could run well at a price but she looks triples and for the winner we return to Giorgio.
