Verdict
Tawny Way, Pongee, Desert Royalty and Tight Squeeze look the ones to concentrate on in this handicap and the vote goes to Tawny Way. The selection won well last time out when defeating Desert Royalty and although she is rising in the weights she is taken to win again under conditions that suit. Pongee rates the main danger she was a fair seventh behind Mezzo Soprano in a class A race last season but she may just need the run after a 266 day absence and for that reason she is opposed on this occasion. Desert Royalty is well weighted with Tawny Way on their running last time but the selection won with as little in hand and is taken to win again. Tight Squeeze is another that could go well he won well last time out when defeating Bank On Him but this looks tougher and for the winner we return to Tawny Way.
