A tough race to call here for punters with very little between many of the leading lights but the principals look to be Kiama, Sinnomore and Our Choice and the tentative vote is given to Sinnomore. The selection was a fair second behind Cordier on his last run and despite top weight he looks the one to be on in what is a poor affair. Kiama rates the main danger on his latest second behind Gurrun but that form has since been let down. However his yard are in top form and he should be noted in the market. Our Choice is another worthy of respect as he is one of the least exposed in the field and he has given the impression in the past that this trip will suit. Of the remainder, Sharp N Frosty and Lunar Sky are others that could run well as they look to be on handy marks but are far from consistent and in a race that throws up more questions than answers for the winner we return to Sinnomore.
