This race is interesting in its own way and we'll side with Two Of Clubs over Sonderberg. The selection probably has the best form on offer and will not get many better chances of winning a race, but he is closely weighted with Dances In Time based on track form last month. Sonderborg is from a stable in form and her overall form has to make her seriously competitive in a modest maiden race. This is probably Dances In Time's best trip and, blinkered for the first time, he could improve on what he has so far shown. My Little Sophia is out of a mare that won five times, but four of those successes came in sellers. Heathyards Joy has shown little so far but I Wish I Knew ran his best race to date when stepped up to this trip last time so could improve again today. An intriguing race in its way and one in which we will play safe and opt for Two Of Clubs.
