Verdict
A wide-open handicap here and many can be given chances on their best form but the principals look to be Danifah, Miss Judgement, Chimali and Darla and the tentative vote goes to Miss Judgement. The selection won well last time out over course and distance when defeating Mistral Sky and although she has a penalty for that win she won with a little in hand and under conditions that suit she is taken to win again. Danifah rates the main danger she also won well last time out when defeating Rockley Bay but her best form is on turf and for that reason she is opposed. Chimali is another that could go well he has dropped to a handy mark and showed signs of a revival when third behind Woodbury last time so is worth noting in the market. Darla was a fair second behind Rise last time and is another that could go well but he gave the impression he would be suited by further and for that reason is oppose. Of the remainder Ace Club and United Spirit are others with place claims but both gave the impression the handicapper had caught up with them last time and they will both need to improve to win off these marks. This is a difficult race to call but for the winner we return to Miss Judgement.
