Jebel Tara, Sir George and Rapidity are three against the field in the opener and the confident vote is given to Jebel Tara. The selection was a fair second behind Spitfire last time out. That form has since been franked and under similar conditions here he looks the one to be on. Sir George rates the main danger as he hails from a yard that can do no wrong with its two-year-olds at present and he should be watched in the market. However, he is bred to be suited by a longer trip in time and he is taken on with this in mind. Rapidity is a well-bred colt by Mind Games and is another to note in the market while Karky Schultz showed promise on his debut and is sure to improve. Jebel Tara has plenty in his favour here though and is taken to land the prize.
