Verdict
Sentiero Rosso, Ruffie and Gracie's Gift are three against the field in this wide open handicap and the tentative vote is given to Sentiero Rosso. The selection won well last time out when beating Ruffie and aklthough having a penalty he won with a shade in hand and is taken to win againg. Ruffie is sure to have his supporters on these revised terms but he has been done no favours by the draw. Gracie's Gift is another that could go well on her best form but she just gave the impression the handicaper had caught up with her last time and she is opposed on that basis. Kingsmait is game and consistent and is sure to run his race off what looks a fair mark but he is hard to win with. Of the remainder Mowhawk Star is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but for thwe winner we return to Sentiero Rosso.
