A wide open contest gets Proceedings underway and many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Cyber Santa, Daydream Dancer and Vizulize and the tentative vote is given to Cyber Santa. The selection won well last time out when beating Donnas Double and although he has a penalty for that win he won with a little in hand and under similar conditions here he will be hard to beat. Daydream Dancer rates the main danger on his latest second behind Red River Rebel. He is sure to strip fitter here and will not be far away. Vizulize is another worthy of respect on his best form but he just gave the impression the handicapper had caught up with him when well beaten behind Freak Occurrence last time. Theatre Tinka is another with place claims on his best form and he has dropped to a handy mark so should be noted in the market. Of the remainder Miss Glory Be ran as if returning to form when third behind Blue Patrick. However she has yet to prove she stays this far and in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to Cyber Santa.
