Phone In, La Via Ferrata and Keshya look the three to concentrate on in this claimer and the vote is given to Phone In . The selection was a fair fourth in better race behind Bedouin Blue last time, this represents a drop in class and with his yard continuing in good form he will be hard to beat. La Via Ferrata rates the main danger on his latest second behind Lady Romanov but he is unproven on this surface and is passed over for that reason. Keshya is another worthy of respect as he is taking a big drop in class but he is unproven over the trip. Of the remainder Macho Dancer is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but for the winner we return to Phone In.
