Haafel, Good Outlook and Key Phil are three against the field in a competitive handicap chase and the vote is given to Good Outlook. The selection was a good second behind Phildari last time out, he remains off what looks a fair mark and under his optimum conditions he looks the value bet in an open affair. Haafel rates the main danger as he won well last time out when beating River Amora and although he has a penalty for that win this does not look much harder and with his yard continuing in good form he will not be far away. Key Phil is another that could go well as he is another last time out winner but he was all out on that occasion and his penalty may just find him out. This is a trappy affair and stakes should be kept to a minimum but for the winner we return to Good Outlook.
