    Verdict

    A wide open handicap here and many can be given chances on their best form but the principals look to be High Drama, Tom Bell, and Peak Park and the tentative vote goes to High Drama. The selection has been in fair form of late and he won well last time out when defeating Harik, and although he is rising in the weights he won with plenty in hand and he is taken to win again. Tom Bell rates the main danger he was a fair second behind The Kelt last time and that form gives him definite place claims but this looks much more competitive and he is passed over on this occasion. Peak Park is another that could go well he was a fair second behind Diamond Orchid last time but that was over a shorter trip and he is not sure to be suited by this longer distance. Of the remainder Java Dawn showed improved form to be third behind Delightfully last time but that was in a seller and for the winner we return to High Drama.
