Verdict
Lik Wood Power, Golly and Drum Native look the three to concentrate on in this handicap chase and the vote is given to Golly. The selection was a fair fourth behind Rowdy Yates last time out. That form looks solid and off the same mark here he looks the one to be on. Lik Wood Power rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind L'Oiseau but he often finds less than expected off the bridle and at likely odds he looks worth taking on. Drum Native is another that could go well as he hails from a yard in top form looks sure to be suited by the step up min trip and if fit after a 446 day break he will not be far away. Of the remainder Lambrini Mist is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is hard to win with and for the winner we return to Golly.
