Eva Soneva So Fast, Sweet Indulgence and Watamu are three against the field in another tough race to call for punters and the narrow vote is given to Eva Soneva So Fast. The selection was a good second behind the well backed Royal Jet last time out. That form looks rock solid in the context of this race and off the same mark he looks the one to be on. Sweet Indulgence rates the main danger but she was behind the selection last time and on nearly identical terms she has a little to find. Watamu has the ability to go close off this mark but often does not go through with her effort and at the likely odds others are preferred. Fortunate Isle has dropped to a handy mark and with her yard in form is worth a cautionary look in the market. Of the remainder, Quince is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is rising in the weights without winning so we are happy to stick with Eva Soneva So Fast as our choice to lead them home.
