Verdict

Copperbottomed gets the voter in this claimer with Indecision and Our Sunnie rating the main dangers. The selection has been in good form of late and won well last time out when beating Whitcombe Flyer. He again has conditions to suit and he will be hard to beat. Our Sunnie rates the main danger as he is well in here and is sure to have come on for his latest run which saw him finish fourth behind Barraland so he should be watched in the market. Indecision is another that could go well on his best form but he has not progressed as expected. One Called Alice is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but is hard to win with and for the winner we return to Copperbottomed who at least knows how to win.
