Coumntrywide Belle gets the vote here with Lady Palma Nova and Beckoning rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair third behind Prettilini last time out, this looks easier and with the race sure to be run to suit he looks the one to be on. Lady Palma Nova rates the main danger on her best form of last season but she has shown very little so far this season so can not be put forward with any confidence. However she hails from a very shrewd yard and should be noted in the market. Beckoning is another that could go well but he has yet to prove he stays this far. Of the remainder Count The Trees is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to Countrywide Belle.
