A wide open contest rounds off the card and many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Dance To My Tune, Wellington Hall,Street Life and Gingko and the vote is given to Dance To My Tune. The selection was a good second on her debut this season behind Greenwich Meantime off this mark. This slightly shorter trip should suit and she is taken to win this before she takes a hike in the handicap. Wellington Hall rates the main danger as he won well when last seen beating Mobane Flyer in good style. However he has risen in the weights for that win and may just need the run after a four month absence. Street Life is another worthy of respect on his latest second behind Duelling Banjos but that was over a longer distance and he looks to have plenty on at the weights. Ginko would be a danger to all on his best AW form but he has yet to reproduce his best on turf. Of the remainder Authority is from a shrewd yard and looks to be on a handy mark and should be noted in the market but for the winner we return to Dance To My Tune.
