Sizing Tennessee (5/2), Antony (11/4), Cabaret Queen (3/1), Capeland (4/1), Princeton Royale (7/1)

SIZING TENNESSEE looks capable of making a winning seasonal debut dropping back in distance. The selection is effective over this trip and can see off Capeland who should appreciate the step back up in distance while local runner Antony can claim third.
