In depth
Verdict
A wide open handicap here and many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Wahoo Sam, Market Avenue and Donna's Double and the vote goes to Wahoo Sam. The selection won well last time out when defeating Double Ransom, he will handle the ground and despite his penalty he is taken to score. Market Avenue rates the main danger on his best form but he was very disappointing last time out so can not be backed with any confidence. Donna's Double is another worthy of respect but she was well behind the selection last time and although she is better off at the weights she still has a little to find. Apache Point and Coustou are others in good form and are worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Wahoo Sam.
