Verdict
Calabash Cove, Magic Echo and Milla's Rocket form the shortlist in this handicap and the vote is given to Calabash Cove. The selection is on the hat-trick bid tonight and as he was good value for his winning margin last time we think that he can go in again. Magic Echo has got a good strike-rate and she showed a good attitude to get her head in front last time. She is creeping up the weights but she is improving with her racing so it would be no surprise to see her go well. Milla's Rocket won well when returning from a break last time and although she has a penalty for that success, she is sure to strip fitter for the run. Radical Views is from a stable that do well here and is respected, but we will side with Calabash Cove who can continue his hot streak.
