Verdict
Another wide open handicap rounds off the card but the principals look to be Rocinante, Arms Acrossthesea, Super Dominion and Iamback and the tentative vote goes to Arms Acrossthesea. The selection won well last time out when defeating Platinum Charmer and although he is rising in the weights he won with a shade in and and he is taken to win again under conditions that suit. Rocinante rates the main danger he has won his last to races in good style but that has been on soft ground on turf and he has yet to prove he stays this far so he is passed over on this occasion. Super Dominion is another that could go well he won well last time out when defeating Amethyst Rock but this looks much more competitive and he may struggle under his penalty. Iamback goes particularly well at the track and her could run well at a price while Sorbiesharry is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market. But in a tough race to call for the winner we return to Arms Acrossthesea.
