Verdict
Smile For Us is just a token choice in a wide open handicap, Dakota Rain and Mistral Sky could provide most danger. The selection has shown improved form this summer and was just beaten by the well drawn Vegas Boys last time out with today's rival Mistral Sky back in fifth. Ground and trip are in his favour again this afternoon and he should give us a good run for our money. Mistral Sky should get a lot closer at the weights this afternoon but will find it hard to reverse the form. Dakota Rain has to shoulder top-weight having put in some excellent efforts last season. The stable are back amongst the winners and this son of Indian Ridge will be hard to keep out of the places. Hoh Wotanite is starting to look well treated and looks the pick of the others, but Smile For Us has the best recent form on show and he gets our vote.
