Verdict
Another wide-open handicap rounds off the card and many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be St Savarin, Zariano and Tre Colline and the vote goes to St Savarin. The selection won well last time out when defeating Kirkby's Treasure, and although he has a penalty for that win, he won with a bit in hand and he is taken to win again under conditions that suit. Zariano rates the main danger. He was a fair second behind Tre Colline last time and is better off at the weights with that rival here and he should gain his revenge. However, that was in a claimer and this looks tougher so for that reason he is opposed. Bob's Buzz has the ability to go close off this mark but he will need to settle better than he did last time out. Of the remainder, Kentucky King is on a fair mark and goes well at the track so he could run well at a price and for the winner we return to St Savarin.
