Verdict
Dispol Foxtrot, Dispol Veleta, Wroot Danielle and Sting Like A Bee are a handful against the field in another tough race to call for punters and the tentative vote is given to Dispol Foxtrot. The selection won well last time out when beating Keshya and although that was on heavy ground and he has a penalty for that win he won in the style of an improver and he is taken to defy the handicapper. Dispol Veleta rates the main danger as he was fourth behind the selection last time and is weighted to gain his revenge on these revised terms but his best form is on softer ground and for that reason he is opposed. Wroot Danielle won well last time out when beating Commitment Lecture after a long absence but we get the feeling he may bounce and he is passed over on this occasion. Sting Like A Bee has dropped to a handy mark and is from a yard in form so is worth noting in the market but this hold up performer needs everything to fall just right if he is to win. Of the remainder Rare Coincidence would be a danger to all on his best form but he never runs two races alike and for the winner we return to Dispol Foxtrot.
