A wide open handicap rounds off the card and many would have chances on their best form but the main protagonists look to be Mandurah, Woqoodd and Dualagi and the nominstion is given to Mandurah. The selection won well last time out when beating Inspainagain, and although having a penalty for that win, he has plenty of scope for improvement on his favoured fast ground. With his yard continuing in good form, he is taken to win again. Woqoodd rates the main danger as he also won well last time out when defeating Pickering. However, that was over a longer trip and the drop in distance has to be a concern. Dualagi is another that could go well as he beat Twosheetstothewind last time out. However all his best form, is on a softer surface and he looks opposable on that basis. Nomoreblondes was all out to beat Spinning Game last time and he looks vulnerable under a penalty. Of the remainder Durova is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but in a race where few can be ruled out Mandurah is our idea of the winner
