Not too many trustworthy horses in this event so we will side with course and distance winner Diktatorship, with the other proven winner Pharoah Prince looking best of the rest. The selection had a bit in hand when winning here eight days ago, beating the re-opposing Trysting Grove into second. There is no pull in the weights today so there is no apparent reason for those placing to be reversed, so we will stick with the winner that day to go in again. Pharaoh Prince is one of the more consistent horses in the race so must have good claims, however he struggles to get his head in front although he is capable from this current mark of 45. Jarvo could go well at a price, but a place could be the best to hope for from this maiden of 36 starts. The fact that he has a forecast s.p. of 6/1 reflects the quality of this race, however we will reluctantly return to Diktatorship to small stakes as our winner.
