Verdict

THE LAST BOTTLE looks interesting here and is selected ahead of Ocean Of Peace and Amical Risks. The selection finished down the field here on his latest start but this longer trip is expected to see him in a better light. Just three starts ago, he finished second over fourteen furlongs at this track from a 5lb higher mark and he could be about to reach peak fitness now that he's got a couple of runs under his belt after an absence. Ocean Of Peace will have his work cut out to figure from his high draw but he's well handicapped and in good form so he just has to be on the short-list in this company. Amical Risks returned from a break with a good run over course and distance at the end of last month and he has an obvious chance on that effort whilst he is another well handicapped runner on the pick of his old form. Tar and Seaquel are worth monitoring whilst They All Laughed and Dazzling Begum are two more with reasonable claims but The Last Bottle may have the last laugh.
