Verdict
This looks about as bad as it gets around here and the betting should be monitored for clues. Fine Cut was obviously overrated by the assessor for his handicap debut as he's already been dropped 7lb. Master Of Time makes his handicap bow and showed a bit more when stepped up to 7f last time so this trip should suit. POLITICAL POLICY was dropped in trip and ratings here two weeks ago and was staying on over 6f. He should go close from the same mark and confirm running with Fix It, who in turn is preferred to stablemate High Stand. Too Many Diamonds has run moderately in slightly better company while Breenainthemycra has shown little in maidens though was staying on over 7f a fortnight ago.
