Verdict
This is an intriguing handicap were there is a bit of guess work involved with some of the handicap debutants but given that CUMANA BAY found just a subsequent winner too good last time off a similar mark she has our confidence to go one better ahead of King's Siren and Foxtrot Alpha. There is a little unknown with the pick as far as the ground is concerned with her only win coming on soft and the fact she is yet to experience quick conditions. That said her runs on the Polytrack are pointers she will handle it and her mark looks right now. King's Siren could be well treated based on her maiden form as a two-year-old but it's not guaranteed, neither is whether she has trained on. Foxtrot Alpha is relieved of three pounds on her back after placing in a competitive big field handicap last time out and her juvenile form has her right in the picture off this mark. Charlotte Point made a pleasing reappearance and should be competitive again while Sterling Sound looks weighted to be involved also. A tricky puzzle to solve this and our solution is Cumana Bay.
