      Verdict

      KIWI BAY can land the prize in this handicap at the main expense of Thunderball and Motafarred. Michael Dods has been in fair form and it is worth noting that Kiwi Bay ran well on his only previous run at this track. He ran as if his turn would not be far away at Redcar last month when he wasn't beaten far and he could be one to stay on the right side of. Thunderball has been off the track since June but he ran really well when last seen at Newmarket when he chased home Captain Brilliance over 7f. That race has not worked out all that well though and his overall form is pretty inconsistent. Course and distance form can count for a lot at this track so Motafarred has to be of interest, although he has been a little disappointing of late. Turn Me On ran well here last year and he is another to consider at an each-way price, although his recent form leaves him with a little to find. Michael Dods won this race last year and he can repeat the trick with Kiwi Bay.
