Verdict

This is a poor race and it will not take too much winning. Tbm Can, who has made a cracking start to his career in handicaps, can continue to thrive off his low current mark, and he is just preferred over Quest On Air and Tasneef. The selection showed a game attitude under a penalty at Hamilton nine days ago and a repeat of that performance will make him very hard to master in this company. Quest On Air is one who has hit form at the right time for this and will not go down without a fight. However, he has not been noted for consistency and his rating of 45 says plenty about his true ability. Tasneef and Toberoe Commotion have plenty on at the weights and are passed over today. Taffy Dancer and Classical Waltz are also opposable on the balance of form, which leaves Montosari as the biggest danger to the still improving Tbm Can .
