In depth

Verdict

Vicars Destiny, Solomon's Mine and Moon Emperor look the three to concentrate on in this staying handicap and the vote is given to Vicars Destiny.Saida Lenasera The selection was a fair fourth on his debut this season behind Solomon's Mine but he is better off at the weights with that rival here and should strip fitter for the run so is taken to score. Solomon's Mine rates the main danger despite his penalty but he never runs two races the same and at likely odds he looks worth opposing. Moon Emperor is another worthy of respect on his latest second behind Garnett but that was on the AW and he looks on a high enough mark for his return to turf. Of the remainder Saida Lenasera is from a shrewd yard and is fit from jumping but should be noted in the market but for the winner we return to Vicars Destiny.
