The high draw will prove to be of benefit to KELAMON who gets the nod here with Desert Dreamer and Brunelleschi expected to make up the lead the opposition. The selection was a winner over course and distance about a year ago and is capable of repeating such success today. The gelding was last seen winning on turf from a 4lb lower mark back in October and proved easy to back for this return last time and ran a solid race in defeat. He should prove plenty sharper for that outing and will relish stepping back up a furlong. Desert Dreamer had been in superb form on the all weather this year but has failed to transfer that for to the turf. That said his last two outings on the green stuff have seen him finish in the minors and he is progressing well. The draw in stall nine will help his effort but a finish just behind the selection looks likely. Brunelleschi is another who has been impressive on the all weather recently. His form on the grass though tells a very different story. His form on the all weather may have raised confidence though and the going here should suit so he should make the placing. Digital looks best of the rest. He will have come on from his race here earlier this month and he can put pressure on the selection Kelamon.
