In depth
Verdict
Dunedin Rascal comes here in good heart and loves both track and trip, though his latest win means that despite a 2lb drop since he is probably in the handicapper's grip for the present time. Manicani is another who likes both the polytrack and this six furlongs and with his yard in decent enough form he is taken to score off what is still a pretty handy mark. Of the remainder, Tim Easterby does not venture down here too often with his runners, so Only One Legend must merit respect, though he does look to have plenty of weight for what he has achieved. Finally, Al Muallim steps up in grade but is game and genuine and may be able to sneak a place from the lower end of the handicap.
