Verdict
Autograph gets the vote in the opener with Lord Collingwood and Speedro rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair second behind Sea Cadet last time out, that form looks solid and under similar conditions here he looks the one to be on. Lord Collingwood rates the main danger on his latest second behind Brave Rabellion but all his best form is on a softer surface and he is taken on with this in mind. Speedro is another that could go well on his latest second behind In Dream's he looks sure to improve for the step up in trip and should be watched in the market. Of the remainder The Gleaner is from a shrewd and in-form yard and should be watched in the market back on this faster surface but for the winner we return to Autograph who sets a fair standard and will be hard to beat.
