        In depth

        Verdict

        Fajr, Orchard Supreme and Councellor look the three to concentrate on in this competitive handicap and the vote is given to Farj. The selection was a fair third behind Baharah last time out when the race was not run to suit. He looks sure to get a stronger pace here and with this in mind he looks the one to be on. Orchard Supreme was in front of the selection last time but he had the run of the race on that occasion and at likely odds he looks worth taking on. Councellor won well last time when beating Rainbow Mirage but this looks tougher and he looks vulnerable off this higher mark. Of the remainder Evens And Odds has the ability to go close off this mark but has shown little of late so can not be put forward with much confidence and with this in mind for the winner we return to Fajr.
