Another tough race to call here for punters with very little between many of the leading lights but the main protagonists look to be Jane's Payoff, Golden Dane and Bahamarama and the tentative nomination is given to the last named. The selection was a fair third behind Big Stick last time out when unlucky in running; he remains on a fair mark and looks value bet in an open affair. Golden Dane rates the main danger on his latest second behind Nice Wee Girl but all his best form is over a slightly longer trip and he is taken on with this in mind. Jane's Payoff is another worthy of respect on her latest third behind Spartan Duke but she looks to have plenty of weight for what she has actually achieved. Richardthesecond hails from a yard in form and is sure to have come on for his latest start so he should be watched in the market. Of the remainder, Dalarossie has the ability to win off this mark but consistency is not his strong point and with this in mind Bahamarama is our idea of the winner.
