The next race on the card is another big field handicap and the vote to BOB'S DREAM ahead of Mater Nimbus and Nelson Du Ronceray. The selection has won two of his last three starts and today's race should be run to suit. He usually takes a pull in his races but this biggish field should help him settle. He just got up on the line in his latest start so the handicapper has not been harsh. We feel he may still be ahead of the handicapper and has a top three lbs claimer on board. Master Nimbus was very unlucky on his latest start when falling at the last fence when looking the winner. That was only a three runner affair but wasn't that bad a race. Today's bigger field should be fine for this course and distance winner. Other to note in this tough race are Stan and Tramantano its Bob's Dream for us.
