Verdict
So Sure, Borora and Just In Time are three against the field in another tough race to call for punters and the vote goes to Borora. The selection has been in good form of late and despite the fact he is rising in the weights he again has conditions to suit and a reproduction of his latest win over Lightning Star would make him hard to beat as he appears to win with a little in hand. So Sure rates the main danger he has also won his last two races in good style he defeated Leche Bottes last time out but this looks much more competitive and for that reason he is opposed. Just In Time is dropping in class and is sure to have come on for his first run of the season but he still looks to have plenty on off top weight. Of the remainder Your Advantage would have possibilities on his best form but he was pulled up for no apparent reason last time so can not be backed with any confidence. Monksford is another in form but the handicapper may have caught up with him and for the winner we return to Borora.
