Verdict

CALLISTO MOON can defy a penalty to score again in this handicap; That'll Do Nicely and Desert Destiny look the main dangers. The selection was a comfortable winner at Sandown when he beat Victoria Montoya in a competitive handicap. A 6lbs rise looks fair enough as the front pair came clear of the remainder and he can win again. That'll Do Nicely won over this course and distance last month and he ran another sound race here last time. He is improving with his racing and with conditions to suit he should not be underestimated. Merrion Tiger finished behind That'll Do Nicely a couple of runs ago but on these terms there should not be a great deal between them today. Desert Destiny won well last time but his overall profile is far from convincing and there is a question mark over his ability to follow-up. Callisto Moon is in good form and can win again
