SAFE VOYAGE has made all for victory in the past and with no confirmed front-runner here connections may be tempted to employ similar tactics in this. The selection made all to win at Newcastle in January and again raced prominently when finishing runner-up last time out. Irish trainer Pat Shanahan has a respectable 15% strike-rate at this track (12/82) and his Ionization can run well to claim second here ahead of Nicholas T who has been in good form so far this season.
