Sian Thomas,Come What July and Sun Hill are three against the field in this competitive handicap and the narrow vote is given to the last named. The selection goes well at the track has dropped to a handy mark and although he disappointed last time out he looks the value bet in an open affair. Sian Thomas rates the main danger on her latest second behind Efrhina but although she travels well in her races she often finds less than expected and for that reason is opposed. Come What July is another worthy of respect as he won well last time out when beating Tulipa but he has a penalty for that win and has yet to win off a mark this high and at likely odds he looks worth taking on. Of the remainder Eastborough, Orinocovsky are from shred yards and look to be on a handy mark so should be monitored in the market but in a race that throws up more questions than answers for the winner we return to Sun Hill.
