Wisdom's Kiss looks the most likely winner of this handicap; Sir Bond and Karma Llama are the others to consider. The selection won well last time here and the cheek-pieces really seem to have worked the oracle for James Bethell's 4-year-old. He remains unexposed and he looks one to stay on the right side of. Karma Llama ran a fair race last time considering she was returning from a break so she should be primed for a big run tonight. Sir Bond was a beaten favourite here last time and the simple fact is that he doesn't win as often as he should. Mighty Mover arrives here in good form and he has a fair draw, so he can go well at a price, but for the winner we will stick with Wisdom's Kiss.
