Verdict
Another tough race to call here for punters with not much between many in this claimer but the main contenders look to be Blakeset, Rafters Music and Gilded Cove and the nomination goes to Blakeset. The selection from the David Baron¿s yard cut little ice in a handicap last time when well behind Just A Glimmer. But prior to that he was a fair third in this grade behind Override a reproduction of that effort would see him go close and with Darryll Holland taking the ride he will be hard to beat. Rafters Music rates the main danger on his best form but he is seen to best effect off a strong pace and he is not sure to get that here so looks opposable. Gilded Cove is taking a drop in grade but looks to have plenty on at the weights. Of the remainder Polar Haze could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Blakeset.
