Verdict
Largs, Lizzie Rocket and Secret Vision are three against the field in a wide open affair and the vote is given to Largs. The selection dead heated last time out with Lizzie Rocket and from a better draw than that rival here is taken to win again. Lizzie Rocket is sure to have his supporters but he will do well to win this from a poor draw. Secret Vision is another worthy of respect on his latest third behind Largs . He is better off at the weights with that rival here and he will not be far away but his best form of late is over a longer trip and for that reason he is opposed. Of the remainder Lady Pekan is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to Largs who at least is in form.
