A wide open contest rounds off the card and many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Boanerges, Taboor and Campeon and the tentative vote is given to the last named. The selection was a fair sixth behind Cashle Mead last time out. That form has since been franked and from a good draw and off the same mark he looks a value bet in an open affair. Boanerges rates the main danger as he won well last time when beating Hadeth but that was in a seller and this looks more competitive and he is passed over for that reason. Taboor is another that could go well as he won well last time when beating Geojimali but he has a penalty for that win and that may just catch him out. Hammer Of Gods won his race on the wrong side last time out when fourth and from a better draw here he will not be far away. Of the remainder Forest Dane was a fair third behind Jennverse last time and could go well but he just gave the impression the handicapper had caught up with him on that occasion and in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to Campeon.
