Verdict
With the stalls on the far side it is a huge advantage to be drawn high. With most of the fancied horses poorly drawn, there is every reason to expect a shock result here. Move It will be a short price and while he may be a step ahead of the Handicapper, he will have to be to defy his draw, while Vision Of Dreams and Dusty Dazzler also have plenty on from there respective stalls. Despite being out of the handicap, Awarding is not one to discount. He has plenty of pace to hold his position draw next to the rails and if stripping fit after his winter break, must go well. However, the selection is Maugwenna, who doesn't look harshly treated on this handicap debut. From the same family as the speedy Dolphin Street, Jeremy Noseda's filly could well be a sprinter to follow this year and while she may be better suited to six-furlongs later in the season, this stiff five should be right up her street.
