A wide open nursery here with very little between many of the leading lights but the principals look to be Moth Ball Tesary, Unreal and Rusky Dusky and the tentative vote goes to Moth Ball. The selection won well last time out when defeating Yajbil and under similar conditions here he is taken to win again as he has plenty of scope for improvement. Tesary rates the main danger on his latest third behind Forzeen but he gave the impression he would be suited by further. Unreal would have a chance on his second behind Winds Of Time a couple of runs ago but he was disappointing last time so can not be backed with any confidence. Rusky Dusky is another that has place claims on his best form but it is alarming that connections are applying a first time visor. Of the remainder Storm Fury is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but in a race where the market will be all important and where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to Moth Ball.
