Verdict
A field big in numbers but short in quality. With Reason is a well bred gelding by Nashwan, he is sure to know his job and will not have to be a leading light to score. Lunar Rainbow is also from a top yard and showed enough on his debut when second behind Zafarshah to suggest he can win a race of this nature. My Valentine has shown a modicum of ability in low grade handicaps and has definite place claims. Royal Spin is from, a shrewd yard and is sure to have learnt from his debut run, a market move could be significant in this moderate affair. Jadeeron has also shown a little ability, and he to would have place claims on his best form. The remainder need to improve on all known form to take a hand in the finish.
