Bluebok,Chatshow and Treasure Cay are three against the field in this competitive opener and the tentative vote is given to Bluebook. The selection has won his last two races in good style notably when beating Lawmaker last time out,. Granted he has risen in the weights for those wins but he still looks ahead of the handicapper and under conditions that suit he his taken to defy the handicapper. Chatshow rates the main danger on his latest second but he has been done no favours by the draw on this occasion and for that reason he is opposed. Treasure Cay is another worthy of respect on his latest second behind Handsome Cross but that form has since been let down and he is passed over for that reason. Foley Millennium is another that could go well but he just gave the impression he was in the handicappers grip when third behind Sierra Vista last time and he looks vulnerable to a less exposed type. Of the remainder Mandarin Spirit is from a yard in form and could run well at a price but for the winner we return to the in-form Bluebook.
