        Verdict

        Punjabi, Angaric and Villa are three against the field in this tough race to call for punters and the vote is given to Punjabi. The selection won well last time out when beating Daaweitza and although having a penalty for that win looks a progressive type and is taken to defy the handicapper under conditions that suit. Angaric rates the main danger as he also won well last time out when beating Creative Mind but he has yet to prove he stays this far and at likely odds he looks worth taking on. Villa Sonata hails from a yard in top form and enters handicaps off what looks a low mark so he should be closely watched in the market. Danski is another with place claims but all his best efforts have come on a soft surface. This is a trappy affair and the market will be very informative but for the winner we are happy to return to Punjabi.
