Ocean Transit and ALL FOR YOU were both winners when last seen and it should be very close between the in form pair but we side with the latter; Perfect Silence also makes the shortlist. It wasn't hard to be impressed by the performance last time of the Marco Botti trained selection who was making his handicap debut. She has begun handicap life off what looks a very feasible mark and, although she has gone up 5lbs for this, she remains one to keep on the right side of, while the slight step up in trip looks sure to suit given both her run style and pedigree. Ocean Transit, a winner over course and distance last time, should be the selections biggest threat. Her last effort here was impressive and the winning experience should help but she's a bit of an inconsistent performer and doesn't look like following up. Perfect silence remains competitive off her current mark. She's finished third at the last couple of attempts and the same is expected. Support Fund and Misphire have both won over course and distance in the past at around this time of year but neither look capable of repeating such success any time soon. All For You gets the nod in what should be another competitive handicap.
