Peruvian Style, Epineuse and Dellagio look the three to concentrate on in this competitive handicap and the vote is given to Peruvian Style. The selection was a good second behind Endless Summer last time out, that form is rock solid and with everything in his favour he is hard to oppose. Epineuse rates the main danger as he won well last time out when beating Slipperfoot but that was in a seller and this looks tougher. Dellagio is another that could go well but he just gave the impression he was in the handicappers grip last time out and is passed over for that reason. Of the remainder Vlasta Weiner is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but the suspicion is he may just need the run after a 221 day absence and for the winner we return to Peruvian Style who will be hard to beat.
