      Verdict

      Unexposed over this trip KAZBOW can overcome a mark rise despite defeat last time and win here at the expense of last time out winner My Mate Max and Chocolate Caramel looks best of the rest. The selection looked to improve when only just held last time when trying this test for the first time. Luca Cumani's gelding is consistent and the feeling is there is more to come from him over this distance. My Mate Max just held on when running on over a furlong extra on his last run. Both of his career wins have been over that trip and he now looks high enough in the handicap. Chocolate Caramel is well weighted on the pick of his form but hasn't shown anything like that recently and Locum can be considered after not missing out by much under this burden last time. A sextet of runners to choose from and Kazbow should carry on improving over this distance.
