In depth
Verdict
A wide open contest here and many can be given chances on their best form but the principals look to be Jay, Cerebus, Burton Ash and Ladruca and we will side with the last named. The selection won well last time out when defeating Slite in a claimer and although this looks more competitive he won with a shade in hand and is taken to win again. Burton Ash rates the main danger on his latest fourth in a better handicap behind Mighty Empire. However he looks to have plenty of weight. Cerebus is another worthy of respect on his latest second behind Good Wee Girl but he to looks to have plenty of weight. Jay also won well last time out when defeating His Majesty but that was in a seller and he will need to improve to score. Snookered Again is another that could go well on his best form but he has disappointed of late. Of the remainder Summer Silks is from a yard in form and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Ladruca.
