Verdict
High Action,Haadef and Wunderwood look the three to concentrate on in this listed handicap and the tentative vote is given to High Action. The selection won in game fashion when beating Mocca last time out. Granted this looks tougher but she is sure to have come on for the run and under similar conditions she is taken to win again. Haadef rates the main danger as he was a good second behind Exterior last time and that form has since been franked so he should be noted in the market. Wunderwood is another with place claims on his latest fourth behind King's Thought. He will relish this longer trip and should strip fitter here and is another that will not be far away. Of the remainder Pukka hails from a yard whose runners have needed there first run of the season while Big Moment is better over a longer trip and in a race that throws up more questions than answers for the winner we return to High Action.
