In depth
Verdict
Lucefer, Fen Gypsy and Cool Temper are three against field in a wide open handicap and the vote goes to Lucefer. The selection won well last time out when defeating Flint River and although he has a penalty for that win he again has conditions in his favour and he will be hard to beat. Fen Gypsy rates the main danger on his latest fourth but she looks to have plenty of weight and fore that reason is opposed. Cool Temper has dropped to a handy mark and ran as if about to return to form when second behind Threezeddz last time so he is worth noting in the market. Of the remainder Johannian continues to run well without winning but he looks on a high enough mark and for the winner we return to Lucefer.
