This is a real pin sticker's affair with many in form horses, and we will give a narrow vote to Limonia, with Hammer Of The Gods and Linda Green just two of many dangers. Nick Littmoden's charge had shown bits and pieces of form before getting the better of the odss on Howards Princess last week in a claimer. On the face of it the form may not be that strong but she does get in here on a very nice weight and there could be more improvement to come. Hammer Of The Gods is a much better horse on the all-weather as he diisplayed last time when easily winning off a mark of 73. His recent turf efforts haven't been too bad either and a big run can be expected. Linda Green returned to winning ways in emphatic style last time, when comfortably beating today's rival Caustic Wit. She rarely runs two races alike but if on a going day she will be in the shake up. Cerulean Rose and Cayman Breeze are two others worthy of a mention, but we take Limonia to make it back to back victories.
