Verdict
Irishkawa Bellevue, Domenico and Beaufort are three against the field in this tight handicap and the vote is given to Irishkawa Bellevue. The selection was a good second behind Money Line last time out, that form looks solid and with the slightly shorter trip sure to suit he will be hard to beat. Domenico rates the main danger on his latest second behind Jackie Boy but the drop in trip has to be a concern. Beaufort is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he has yet to win a race and he is taken opn with this in mind. Chico Time looks vulnerable under top weight and for the winner we return to Irishkawa Bellevue
