Verdict

Another wide open affair here and there is very little between many of the leading lights but the principals look to be Logsdail, Emerald Bay, Moody Tunes and Ashes Regained with the narrow vote given to Emerald Bay. The selection was a good fourth behind H Harrison last time out. That form has since been well advertised and off the same mark here he looks a value bet. Moody Tunes rates the main danger on his best form but he ran as if in the handicapper's grip last time and he looks opposable on that basis. Ashes Regained is another that could go well on his latest fifth behind Habshan especially as the drop in trip may suit. Logsdail won well last time out when beating Sedgewick but he will find this harder under another penalty. Of the remainder, Tous Les Deux and Vicious Warrior have both won off higher marks in the past and should be watched in the market but for the winner we return to Emerald Bay.
