In depth
Verdict
Tilapia, Maslak and Sea Land look three against the field in another wide open affair and the narrow vote is given to Tilapia. The selection won well last time out when beating Surlano and although rising in the weights he looks progressive and he is taken to defy the handicaper. Maslak rates the main danger on his latest third behind Nans Joy, that form has since been franked and he should be watched in the market. Sea Land is another that could go well as he won a maiden in good style last time out when beating Follow The Flag. He enters handicaps off what looks a fair mark and with his yard in form he has definite place claims. Of the remainder Dream Lodge is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but is hard to win with while Last Sovereign's best form is over a shorter trip and with this in mind for the winner we return to Tilapia to small stakes.
