Brave Hawk, Roundthetwist and Forsyte Saga look the three to concentrate on in this tight handicap and the vote is given to Forsyte Saga. The selection was a fair second last time out behind Bookiebasher Babe, hails from the in form Mark Johnston yard and from a good draw he looks a value bet in an open affair. Brave Hawk rates the main danger on his latest second behind Underworld, he could improve for the fitting of blinkers and he should be watched in the market. Roundthetwist is another worthy of respect on his latest fifth behind Hit the Roof. He looks sure to be suited by the return to this longer trip and should be watched in the market. Safebreaker is sure to run his race but he looks vulnerable under top weight. Of the others Alfredtheordinary may need the run after a 127 day break and with this in mind for the winner we return to Forsyte Saga.
