A lowgrade but competitive handicap in which Unlimited, Littledodayno and Kempsey are the trio to look at and we offer another chance to Unlimited. A drop in trip does have to be a worry but Rod Simpson's charge has shown a fair degree of speed and if Sophie Doyle can secure an early pitch, he could be able to burn them all off from the gate. Littledodayno requires a polite introduction before staying on late. He is always respected at this level. Kempsey took part in what turned out to be a controversial affair last week and despite stepping up in trip, he has a major positive in a high draw. Mind Alert is well named as it all seems to be very much in the mind for him. Monashee Prince is perfectly able although seems to have had his card marked by the handicapper. Bentley isn't straight forward while Desert Light hasn't won for almost a year but his high draw probably persuaded Dean McKeown that he was the pick of the Derek Shaw trio. Front-running Arfinnit is respected. Unlimited is likely to be a decent price and we chance him on this occasion.
