        Verdict

        A wide open handicap here and many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Apex, Saristar and Molcon and the vote goes to Apex. The selection was a fair third behind Take A Bow last time and with the drop in trip sure to suit he will be hard to beat. Saristar rates the main danger on his best form and although he was very disappointing behind Buy On the Red this looks much easier and he will be suited by the step back up to seven furlongs. Molcon is another worthy of respect as he is dropping in grade but he was well behind Chateau Nicol last time and he may be in the handicappers grip. I Won't Dance has dropped to a handy mark and is worth noting in the market, the same comment applies to Sachin but for the winner we return to Apex.
