Verdict
Mindanao, Your A Gassman, and Gingerbread House are three against the field in this handicap chase and the vote goes to Your A Gassman. The selection has won his last two races in good style and won well last time out when defeating Zadok The Priest granted this is more competitive but he has won with plenty in hand and under conditions that suit he will be hard to beat. Mindanao also won well last time out when defeating Gone Too Far but that form has since been let down and for that reason he is opposed. Gingerbread House is held in high regard and was a fair hurdler and he is sure to improve for the switch to fences but he may be seen to better effect over a longer trip. Of the remainder Kylie Time is from a yard in form and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Your A Gassman.
