*2 Tuppen* found the lead but gave it away in the last run. Parked outside of the leader with 650 meter to go and won closely. Showed the right attitude and is our pick. *1 Here's Johnny Sox* has developed a lot lately and with this nice number he will certainly get a nice journey.

Could defeat all opponents with the right trip. *4 Rebound* seemed on the way to victory in the last run after a defensive trip but got defeated shortly before the finish.

*5 Arturo Beech* found the lead in the last run but gave it away. Was clearly defeated in that race which was won by Con Crowe. Normally good chance here. *9 Mulberry* has scored twelve wins in 27 starts which is impressive. Has earlier been matched against Swedish opponents and is an early choice. *6 Dame Lane* scored a close win two starts back and comes from a good second spot. Is in good shape and should be followed again. *1 Livi Pasadena H.M.* has not won for a while and needs to be improved to win this. Nice number though. Warning.

Won the debut on Axevalla after a strong finish and came back well after a mistake in the last run. *7 Lady Pellini* kept up the pace well after a trip from behind the leader and third on the inside in the last run. Tricky number but early choice with the right trip. *9 Noble A.F.* took over the lead with one lap to go in the last run and scored a close victory. Is strong and could be the strongest again at the end. *10 Jaguar Hall* won easily in the lead two starts back but galloped in the last run.
