A wide open contest rounds off the card and many would have chances on there best form but the main protagonists look to be Dancing Mystery, Chatshow and Taboor and the narrow vote is given to Dancing Mystery. The selection has won his last two races in good style notably when beating Musical Script last time out, that form has since been franked and from a good draw under conditions that suit he looks the one to be on. Chatshow rates the main danger on his latest second behind Linda Green but this hold up performer will need plenty of luck in running and at likely odds he looks worth taking on. Taboor won well a couple of runs ago but he gave the impression the handicaper had caught up with him last time when well beaten off this mark. Mr Cellophane is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is hard to win with.Of the remainder Joyeaux has dropped to a handy mark and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Dancing Mystery who is in the form of his life.
