Verdict
Vacation, Kindlelight Debut and Byron Bay are three sagainst the field in this competitive handicap and the tentative vote is given to Vacation. The selection was a fair third behind Mina A Selem last time, that form has since been franked and with the race sure to be run to suit he looks the value bet in an open affair. Kindlelight Debut rates the main danger on his best form, he loves this track and will not be far away but the suspicion is he will be seen to better effect over a longer trip in time.Byron Bay iss from a yard in form and is another with place claims but his best form of late has come over a longer trip and he is taken on with this in mind. Of the remainder Bahar Shumaal is another from a yard in form and is worth a cautionary look ibn the market but for the winner we return to Vacation to small stakes.
