Verdict

A wide open contest rounds off the card and many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Lagudin North Landing and The Names Bond and the tentative vote is given to Lagudin. The selection was a fair second behind Max Time last time out. That form has since been franked and off the same mark here he will be hard to beat under conditions that suit. North Landing rates the main danger as he was travelling well when brought down in a similar race last time he remains at the right end of the weights and under conditions that suit he should be closely watched ion the market. The Names Bond is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he ran as if the handicapper had caught up with him last time and for that reason he is opposed. Snow;s Ride hails from a yard in form and with the booking of Graham Lee catching the eye he could go well at a price the same comment applies to Show No Fear who is very well weighted on his best form but for the winner we return to Lagudin.
