Verdict
PRIZE POINT has apparently been hard to train as the five-year-old has only had nine starts. However, Jim Boyle has got him right now and he's won twice at this track since December. He should be able take up his preferred position at the front of the field and is the one to catch if doing so. Chjimes and Pipers Piping have a bit to find with the selection, but Waabel and Dancing Welcome look a threat, with preference for the former who had a couple of today's rivals behind when third here last time.
