Verdict
Truckers Point, My Reflection and Woodwee look the three to concentrate on in this open affair and the vote is given to Truckers Point. The selection hails from a yard in form was slightly unlucky in running behind Tamaquin last time out and off what remains a fair mark he looks a value bet in an open affair. My Reflection rates the main danger on his latest second behind Berties Brother the step up in trip will suit and he will not be far away. Woodwee is another that could go well as she also looks to be on a handy mark but she is very hard to win with and for that reason is opposed. ,Smart Ass won well last time out but this looks more competitive and he will need to improve to defy his penalty. Of the remainder Katie Lawson is another last time out winner that could go well but she has never won over this trip before and for the winner we return to Truckers Point.
