In depth
Verdict
Another wide open handicap here for punters to call with many in form rivals in opposition including Coup De Chance, Loop The Loupe and Anak Pekan and we will take a chance on the last named. The three year old was a good second behind the prolific Misternando last time and he has won again since so the form looks rock solid; she will be hard to beat off what still looks a fair mark under conditions that suit. Coup De Chance rates the main danger he has won his last two races in good style and still looked ahead of the handicapper when defeating Short Change a shade cozily last time and he will not be far away. Loop The Loupe is also worthy of respect he was a good second behind Bollin Thomas last time and is another that wont mind the ground. Establishment is another that could go well he won well last time when defeating Sea Plume but this is much more competitive. Of the remainder Love That Benny is one of the least exposed in the field and is still open to improvement at this trip but we are happy to stick with Anak Pekan.
