Verdict
Woody Valentine, Bond Moonlight, Platinum Pirate and Rock Lobster look the ones to concentrate on in this open handicap and the tentative vote goes to Bond Moonlight. The selection has been in fair form on there AW and a reproduction of her latest second behind Our Little Rosie would make her hard to beat. Woody Valentine rates the main danger he was a fair second behind Liquidate last time and is sure to have come on for the run but the drop in trip is not sure to suit. Platinum Pirate was a fair second behind Regulated and if the first time visor brings about some improvement he will not be far away. Rock Lobster is one of the least exposed in the field and has scope for improvement but looks to have enough weight for what he has actually achived so for the winner we return to Bond Moonlight.
