Kingofthesingers (13/8), Gift of Hera (5/2), Houlton (3/1), Secratario (7/2), Duggary (9/1), Makin It (12/1), Homing Star (20/1), Queen Adelaide (25/1), Island Fox (66/1)

A pretty weak contest and easy to put a line through most of them. Secretario won last time out and is of interest once again with this trip likely to suit. Clear preference though is for KINGOFTHESINGERS who is bred for middle distances and hails from a yard that do very well with his type as they go through their three-year-old season.
