Verdict

Another wide open contest rounds off the card with very little between many of the leading lights but the principals look to be Mr Napoleon, Magic Warrior and Play Up Pompey and the narrow vote is given to Mr Napoleon. The selection won well last time out when beating Wind Flow and although having a penalty for that win he again has conditions in his favour and he will be hard to beat. Magic Warrior rates the main danger as he also won well last time out when beating Casblanca Minx. He escapes a penalty for that win and should be watched in the market. Play Up Pompey is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he has been done no favours by the draw. Blu Manruna is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is hard to win with and with this in mind for the winner we return to Mr Napoleon who has plenty of ticks in the right boxes.
