Verdict
A large field goes to post for this handicap but on closer inspection not many can be given a serious chance of winning and the principals look to be Bojangles, Go Green and Midshipman and the vote goes to Bojangles. The selection won well last time out when defeating Flying Spirit, he runs off the same mark here and with conditions in his favour he will be hard to beat Go Green rates the main danger on his latest second behind Lucayan Dancer but he just gave the impression he was in the handicappers grip and for that reason he is opposed. Midshipman is another worthy of respect but his best efforts have been on the AW of late and for that reason he is opposed. Black Legend is another worthy of respect he was a fair fourth behind Salut Saint Cloud last time but that form has since been let down. Of the remainder McQueen won well last time out but this looks much more competitive and she will need to improve to win off this mark and for the winner we return to Bojangles.
