Verdict
A competitive handicap gets proceedings underway and may would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Acorazado, Temper Tantrum and Quantum Leap and the vote goes to Temper Tantrum. The selection has been in fair form of late and although only fifth behind My Pension last time she was unlucky in running. The drop back in trip will not trouble her and under conditions that suit she will be hard to beat. Acorazado rates the main danger he ran as if his turn was near when a fair second behind Ali Bruce last time out. However he has never won over this trip before and for that reason he is passed over on this occasion. Quantum Leap is another worthy of respect.on his latest second behind Pawan. He remains on the same mark here and will not be far away. Fair Options would have a chance on his best form but has not been seen for 207 days so may just need the run. Of the remainder Iced Diamond is from a shrewd yard and should be noted in the market but for the winner we return to Temper Tantrum.
