Verdict
A wide open bumper rounds off the card and as usual in these races the market will prove all important but the principals look to be Classic Capers, Ravens Last and Birdwatch and the vote goes to Classic Capers. The selection from the Malcom Jefferson yard won well despite running green when defeating Captain Murphy, he is sure to have learnt from the experience and under similar conditions he will be hard to beat. Ravens Last won well over course and distance last time and is another that is sure to improve but that was with much more cut in the ground and for that reason he is opposed. Birdwatch has ran to a similar level of form on all his runs and was a fair second behind LeBiassais he has place claims again. Mooramana showed a modicum of ability on his debut and is another sure to have come on for the run. Of the remainder Run Atim is a well bred sort from a top yard and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Classic Capers.
