      Verdict

      Rosapenna,Coconut Squeak and Alabama Twist look the three to concentrate on in this competitive handicap and the narrow vote is given to Rosapenna. The selection won well last time out when beating Cloann and although he has a penalty for that win he won with plenty in hand and he is taken to defy the handicapper under conditions that suit. Coconut Squeak rates the main danger on his best form but he was slightly disappointing behind Extreme Beauty last time out so he can not be put forward with any confidence. Alabama Twist is another with place claims on his latest fourth behind Regal Dream but he looks weights up to his best. Of the remainder Manic, and Cree are game and consistent and are sure to run their races but are hard to win with and for the winner we return to Rosapenna.
