Michael Dods fields a strong team for this and all three of his runners will have conditions to suit and are weighted to give a good account. It would be a mistake to assume the market will be informative and Camacho Chief may prove the pick given his form on a soft surface and the fact he appears to have been teed up for this. Venturous is the pick of the David Barron pair and Bahuta Acha will be suited by the promise of plenty of cover in a fast run race. DESERT ACE represents a yard whose sprinters are in excellent form. He had Show Palace and My Name Is Rio behind when going down by a nose in this last year off a higher mark.
