Verdict

Latif, Nevada Desert and Greenbelt are three against the field in this competitive handicap and the tentative vote is given to Nevada Desert. The selection has dropped to a handy mark will relish the ground and off what looks a handy mark he looks the value bet in an open affair. Latif rates the main danger on his latest second behind Takes Tutu but he is becoming expensive to follow and at likely odds he looks worth taking on.Greenbelt is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he looks weighted up to his best,. Of the remainder The Composer looks to be on a handy mark and could go well at a price but in a race that throws up more questions than answers for the winner we return to Nevada Desert.
