Marmaida gets the confident vote in the opener with Frontline In Focus and Cosmopolitan Lady rating the main dangers. #The selection was a fair seventh in a much better race last time out behind Hope'n' Charity, that form looks rock solid and she need only run up to that mark to win with a little in hand. Frontline In Focus rates the main danger as he won well last time when beating Ishi Adiva but he has already given the impression he would be suited by a longer trip and on this sharp track he looks opposable. Cosmopolitan Lady is another that could go well on her latest third behind Addictive but she does not appear to have improved much and again looks vulnerable to a less exposed type. Of the remainder Hester Brook is another with place claims but has had plenty of chances and for the winner we return to Marmaida who gets the confident vote.
