Temtation was slightly outpaced over the minimum trip last time out but he gets the vote up n trip in this weaker race, with Strike Force and Tang making up the shortlist. Whilst he isn't well drawn in box eleven, the selection is quick out of the stalls and should be hard to peg back from the head of affairs today. He should of come on for his recent run after a lengthy break and with the stable in form, he looks the value call. Tang is consistent enough and should appreciate this drop into selling company. He should be watched in the market. Strike Force should appreciate the drop in trip today and certainly has solid claims, although he can look one-paced at times. At a price Zil Up could run a big race dropped significantly in trip, however for the winner we will return to Jim Boyle's Temtation.
