In depth
Verdict
Lake Merced, Wise Tale and Fu Fighter are three against the field in another tough race to call for punters and the vote is given to Lake Merced. The selection won well last time out when beating Lost In The Snow and although he has a penalty for that win he still looks ahead of the handicapper. Wise Tale also won well last time out but he has a penalty for that win and this looks more competitive and he looks opposable on that basis. Fu Fighter is another that could go well but he just gave the impression the handicapper had caught up with him last time and for that reason he is passed over on this occasion. Beaugency is another that looks weighted up to his best. Of the remainder Coccinelle andCountback look to be on handy marks and both could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Lake Merced.
