Verdict
Chukchi Country, Shares and King Of The Arctic look the main protagonists in another tough race to call for punters and the narrow vote is given to Chukchi Country. The selection showed improved form in first time blinkers when beating Barney last time out and if they have the same effect here he will be hard to beat off what remains an easier mark. Shares rates the main danger on his best form but he just gave the impression the handicaper had caught up with him when fourth behind Terlan on his latest outing. King Of The Artic is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is creeping up the weights for getting beat and looks opposable with this in mind. Of the remainder, Brown Teddy will make a bold bid to make all the running but looks sure to be taken on for the lead while Great Jane has yet to prove she stays this far and for the winner we return to Chukchi Country.
