Cosmic Art, Victorian Bounty and Barraland are three against the field in this competitive nursery and the vote is given to Cosmic Art. The selection won well last time out when beating Kaystar Ridge and although rising in the weights he looks progressive and as he is proven on the surface he will be hard to beat. Victorian Bounty rates the main danger on his latest second behind Concertmaster. However, although he has run well at Lingfield he is not proven on this surface and at the likely odds he looks worth taking on. Barraland was second behind We Have A Dream last time and is another with place claims but he looks to have plenty of weight for what he has actually achieved. Kinout has been placed on all of his runs to date but he has given the impression he would be suited by a longer trip and he is taken on today. Ten Down was well behind Concerrtmaster off a mark of 81 last time yet he races off a mark of 83 here. Tamara Moon is from a shrewd yard and should be watched in the market but her overall profile leaves her with a little to find. This is a trappy affair and for the winner we return to Cosmic Art.
