In depth
Verdict
Willhewiz, What Do You Know and Monte Major look the main protagonists in this competitive handicap and the narrow vote is given to Willhewiz. The selection was a fair second behind Harrisons Flyer last time out, that form has since been franked, and from a good draw and off the same mark he looks the one to be on. What Do You Know rates the main danger on his latest second behind Matterofact but he continues to rise in the weights without winning and is opposed on that basis. Monte Major is another that could go well on his best form but this hold up performer will need plenty of luck in running. Of the remainder Musical Script is from a shrewd yard and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Willhewiz.
