Verdict
PIGEON PIE wasn't beaten far when fourth over course and distance last time and finishing three lengths clear of Omanome. He's preferred to stablemate Overstep, well beaten in three subsequent starts since winning his maiden over track and trip. Left Defender has bits of form that could see him figure but the less exposed pair Baltic Spirit and Elite Freedom may prove bigger threats handicapping for the first time today.
