CUBANISTA (4) has only won once from twenty six starts however did prove competitive in a higher grade for much of last season. Returned to form when a narrow third here nine days ago and holds sound claims of going two places better. It was the re-opposing FANTASY NAVIGATOR (1) who beat the main selection off level weights here last start. Rates the main danger despite conceding weight this time. BLACKCURRENT (2) also featured prominently in that contest and could go well under promising apprentice. Course and distance winner NOBLE CAPTAIN (10) is another who merits consideration.
