Neutrino, Rightful Ruler and Lobengula are three against the field in a wide open affair and the narrow vote is given to Rightful Ruler. The selection was sixth in a fair maiden behind Edas last time out. He returns to handicaps off a fair mark and under conditions that suit he is taken to score. Neutrion rates the main danger on his best form but he was slightly dissapointing behind Given A chance last time out. However this easier surface should suit and he should be noted in the market. Lobengula is another worthy of respect as he remains at the right end of the handicap. He won well last time out when beating Monbane Flyer and although he has a penalty for that win he remains unexposed and should be monitored in the market. Burton Ash was a fair second behind Society Music last time and is another with place claims but that form has since been let down and for that reason he is opposed. Viable has been in fair form of late but this looks harder than the races he has been running in of late. Of the remainder 1 Jenna Stannis is from a yard in form and could run well at a price but in a race which throws up more questions than answers for the winner we return to Rightful Ruler.
