Mi Odds gets the confident vote in the opener with Elms Schoolboy and Stolen Song rating the main dangers. There selection has dropped to a handy mark looks sure to have the race run to suit and in a desperate affair he looks the one to be on. Elms Boy rates the main danger on his latest sixth in a better race but he has yet to prove he stays this far and at likely odds he looks worth taking on. Stolen Song is another that cou;ld go well on his latest sixth behind Spitting Image especially as the drop in trip looks sure to suit. Of the remainder Bhutan looks on a handy mark and could go well at a price but his yard have been quiet of late and in a race where few can be fancied for the winner we return to Mi Odds.
