A wide open sprint handicap rounds off the card and many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Stagnite,Parkside Pursuit,Seven No Trumps and Orpen Wide and the tentative vote is given to Stagnite. The selection was an unlucky in running fifth behind Parkside Pursuit last time out. He is better off with that rival here and with this stiffer track sure to suit and from what looks a fair draw he looks the one to be on. Parkside Pursuit is sure to have his supporters but he will do well to win this under his penalty. Seven No Trumps is another with place claims on his latest third behind Rudis Pet but consistency is not his strong point. Orpen Wide has dropped to a handy mark and shaped as if about to hit form when third behind Gloved Hand last time out. Of the remainder Wicked Uncle and Winthorpe are both well in on their best form and could run well at big prices but for the winner we return to Stagnite.
