Verdict

Umpa Loompa, By The Edge and Royal Guest look the three to concentrate on in this tight handicap and the vote is given to Umpa Loompa. The selection won well last time out when beating Obe Royal. He looks sure to be suited by the return to this shorter trip and he looks the one to be on. By The Edge rates the main danger as he beat Pearlachy last time out. However his best form is on the all-weather and he is taken on with this in mind. Royal Guest has dropped to a handy mark but he has had plenty of chances and looks far from straight forward. Of the others Morristown Music looks weighted up to his best and with this in mind Umpa Loompa gets our vote.
