Verdict
The return to this course and distance could be the major factor with Fission and Jamie Osborne's charge is given a confident vote over Back At De Front, Emaradia and Crews Miss Isle, who are expected to fight it out for the minor honours. Whereas Jamie Spencer is a very positive booking for Alizar and he in turn could play a hand at the finish if returns to anything like his best. However, as that cannot be guaranteed, Fission looks to be the more reliable option after a very confident display on her only previous visit to this course. The official assessor has taken very few chances with the Sir Mark Prescott inmate and that is probably the reason she is being kept to this level of contest for the time being. However, she could develop into a useful tool in low-grade handicaps in due course so Fission's claims stand out on potential alone in a modest races like this
