A tough race to call here for punters with very little between many of the leading lights but the principals look to be Musicmaestroplease,Catbang and Ayam Jantan and the tentative vote is given to Musicmaestroplease. The selection was a fair second behind Buzzin'boyzee last time out doing all his best work at the finish the step up in trip will suit and he looks the one to be on.Catbang rates the main danger on his latest second behind Luckylover but he just gave the impression he would be suited by a longer trip on that occasion and for that reason he is opposed. Ayam Jantan is from a yard in form and is sure to strip fitter here than for his first run of the season so he should be noted in the market. Welsh Cake was a fair fourth behind Magical Music last time and is another with place claims but in a race where few can be ruled out for the winner we return to Musicmaestroplease.
