Verdict
North Central should kick on from his seasonal and handicap bow but PIAZZA SAN PIETRO might be good value for his win last time and may follow up while Cheery Cat might be the fly in the ointment. The selection got up in the final few strides under a well timed run by this pilot for that last win. Because of that he looks better value for that score than the margin suggests and he should go well under a 6lbs penalty. North Central made a promising handicap bow of this mark when returning from a 272 day absence last time. He should come on for the run and is unexposed enough to show us more. Cheery Cat is now only 1lb above his last winning handicap weight so should go well while Cookies Galore has now just dipped below his last winning mark and has every chance based on that. This looks wide open abut Piazza San Pietro could follow up.
