        Verdict

        A competitive handicap rounds off the card but Duelling Banjos is in good form and he gets the vote over Turtle Patriarch and Leaping Brave. The selection won well last time when beating Leaping Brave over today's course and distance. He will relish these conditions and although he is steadily rising in the weights he looks capable of getting his head in front again. Leaping Brave is better off at the weights with our selection from their last meeting here last month, but he is not most consistent and this trip on such testing ground does take him to the very limits of his stamina. Turtle Patriach will love this ground but this is his first run of the year and he is probably better over further so we are happy to take him on. Amnesty is another that has a pull in the weights with our selection from a run here last month, and although he should get closer to him here, he still looks to have a bit to find. Just A Fluke could be the best of the remainder, but for the winner we will stick with the in-form Duelling Banjos.
