Caribbean Dancer gets the confident vote to win this handicap with Charmatic and Shiny Thing rating the main dangers. The selection won with plenty in hand when beating El Rey Royal last time out, and although she has a penalty for that win she looks sure to rise in the weights more when she is reassessed. With conditions to suit she is taken to win again. Charmatic rates the main danger on her best form but she gave the impression the handicapper had caught up with her when third behind Dance On The Top last time out, and for that reason she is passed over on this occasion. Shiny Thing won well last time out when beating Parsley's Return, but this looks tougher and she will need to improve again to win off this mark. Of the remainder, Summerise has conditions to suit and is sure to run her race but she is looks weighted up to her best. Creek Dancer has yet to prove she stays this far and is therefore overlooked and for the winner we return to Caribbean Dancer.
