        Verdict

        Mia's Boy, Kay Gee Be and St Andrews look the three to concentrate on in this tight handicap and the vote is given to Mia's Boy. The selection has won all his races this season and although he was all out when beating Lord Theo last time, he again has plenty in his favour and he is taken to defy the handicapper. Kay Gee Bee rates the main danger on his latest second behind Russki. He is sure to have come on for that run and with the booking of Jamie Spencer catching the eye he should be watched in the market. St Andrews is another that could go well but he usually needs a run or two before he hits form and he is taken on with this in mind. Emerald Wilderness is a game sort but but he looks vulnerable here to a less exposed type. Of the remainder, Kabeer could have the race run to suit but he has been done no favours by the draw, and we will stick with Mia's Boy to land the prize.
