In depth
Verdict
This is a poor seller in which Kanisorn can prevail over Indian Star and Mejhar. The selection disappointed in a handicap last time but he had previously hacked up in a seller over this course and distance and on the evidence of that run he will be hard to beat. Indian Star was not given a hard time in a claimer last time and he is entitled to come on plenty for that run as it was his first outing for 1,921 days. Mejhar is another that is returning from a break here and he should be sharper for this run. This is a poor race and Kanisorn will be hard to beat.
