        Verdict

        A wide open handicap rounds off the card and the main protagonists look to be Mine Behind, Balakiref, Oases and Joyce's Choice and the tentative vote goes to Mine Behind. The selection won well last time out when defeating Whippersnapper and that form has since been franked. Although he is rising in the weights he will be hard to beat under conditions that suit. Balakiref rates the main danger as he was a fair second behind Hurricane Coast last time but on a line through Whippersnapper he has a bit to find with the selection. Oases is another worthy of respect as he was a good second behind Maddie's A Jem last time and with the drop in trip sure to suit he has definite place claims. Of the remainder Joyce's Choice is from a yard in form but her best form is over five furlongs so for the winner we return to Mine Behind.
