Another tough race to call, here foe punters with very little between many of the leading lights but the principals look to be Frank's Quest, Knickyknackienoo and Miskina and the vote is given to Frank's Quest. The selection won well last time out when beating Tintac and although he has a penalty for that win he still looks ahead of the handicapper and he is taken to win again. Knickyknackienoo rates thew main danger on her latest third behind Micheals Pride but this hold up performer needs everything to fall just right so she is passed over on this occasion. Miskina is another worthy of respect on her latest third behind Sweet Pickle but her best form is over a longer trip. Of the remainder Baby Barry runs well fresh and should be noted in the market but for the winner we return to Franks Quest.
