A desperate seller here for punters to fathom but something has to win and the principals look to be Moyne Pleasure, Don't Ask Me and Field Master and the tentative vote is given to Don't Ask Me. The selection was slightly disappointing behind Colophony last timer out. However he is dropped in grade here and with his yard in from and under conditions that suit he looks the value bet in an open affair. Moyne Pleasure rates the main danger on his latest second behind Leadaway. He runs off the same mark here and under similar conditions he will not be far away. Field Master is another worthy of respect on his latest second behind Charm Offensive but he was doing all his best work at the finish on that occasion and the drop in trip has to be of concern. Greencard Golf is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is hard to win with. Of the remainder Ivana Illyich looks to be on a handy mark and could go well at a price but he has to put a disappointing run behind him from last time and with this in mind for the winner we return to Don't Ask Me to small stakes.
