Home gets the vote in this claimer with Little Firecracker and Cherished Song rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair second in similar grade behind Tiger Spice last time out, form that looks solid and from a good draw he is given one last chance to get his head in front. Little Firecracker rates the main danger on her latest third behind Shepards Warning. He should be suited by this longer trip and should be watched in the market. Cherished Song has shown promise in three starts and this represents a drop in class so could go well at a price. Of the remainder, Carry On Cleo goes well at the track but is far from consistent and with this in mind for the winner we return to Home who looks to have plenty going for him today.
