        Verdict

        A wide open handicap here and many can be given chances on their best form but the principals look to be Arry Dash, Templet and King's Empire and the vote goes to the last named. The selection was a good second behind Penwell Hill last time out this longer trip looks sure to suit and off the same mark here he will be hard to beat. Arry Dash won well last time out when defeating Quartino but that was on soft ground on turf and he is not proven on this surface so he is passed over on this occasion. Templet is game and consistent and is sure to run his race and he was a good second behind Freeloader last time. However he is weighted up to his best so he is passed over on this occasion. Lauro looks to be on a fair mark and is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but he was a disappointing well backed favourite last time. This is a difficult race to access and a race were stakes should be kept to a minimum, so for the winner we return to Kings Empire.
