Verdict
Tahtheeb,Kydd Gloves and Dance Partner look the three to concentrate on in this handicap and the confident vote is given to Tahtheeb. The selection was a fair third behind Etesall last time out off this mark. That form has since been franked and under conditions that suit he will be hard tom beat, Kydd Gloves rates the main danger as she is unbeaten to date and won well last time when beating Admiral's Cruise but this is her toughest task to date and at likely odds she looks worth taking on. Dance Partner is game and consistent and is sure to run her race but she just gave the impression the handicapper had caught up with her when second behind Tanzanite last time and for that reason is passed over. Of the remainder the booking of Jamie Spencer for Into The Shadows catches the eye and she should be noted in the market but for the winner we return to Tahtheeb.
