In what looks like an open contest with the better drawn runners all seemingly chasing form, MERRY JEWEL (9) might just secure the trip to capitalise. Scoring two starts back from the pocket trail, she chased for the silver behind BORSELLINO last start to make it four successive top three finishes.

ENGLISH DANCE (10) is up to taking this if the breaks can go his way after being beaten by gate 7 last start. Snagged back, he was making good metres in the closing stages which had followed a tough trip when parked as IM BOO dictated. With the right trip he can challenge.

MY ULTIMATE VICTOR (5) was buried from inside the second line last start and hit the line strongly when the gaps arrived to be under 4m from the winner. Positioning cheaply will be the key to his claims.

BE GOOD MIKI (7) was game in defeat after working hard through the middle stages. Finishing 5m astern of the winner HOLD ONTO YA BLING, the gate makes it a tough ask in this.

SELECTIONS: MERRY JEWEL (9), ENGLISH DANCE (10), MY ULTIMATE VICTOR (5), BE GOOD MIKI (7)
