Wyatt Earp, Knot In Wood and Ice Planet are among the more likelier winners and we shall stick with Wyatt Earp. Richard Fahey's charge is in good form at the moment and he landed a popular success at the track two weeks ago. Knot In Wood is capable of front-running and was an emphatic winner at Haydock. This is a tougher race but a good run should be anticipated. Ice Planet has always threatened to win a big race although backers have become disappointed in the past. Dandy Nicholls only has one in the race so this could be a tip in itself. Blue Tomato is a typically robust sprinter from the Milton Bradley yard and backers should expect to see him played late. My Gacho and Fantasy Believer have been running well in lesser grade while Yomalo seems to run her best races in strong run events such as these. A good entry for the prize money and we prefer Wyatt Earp.
