Verdict

Many in with chances in yet another competitive handicap and we will side with recent winner Orchestration ahead of Ace Club, Primarily, and Black Oval. The last-named caught they eye of the stewards when tenderly ridden recently but she is a filly who needs producing very late so will need the gaps today although she will appreciate the drop to six furlongs. The selection's stablemate Ace Club just got up on the line to win a fortnight ago at Southwell however a 3lb penalty will make life more difficult today. The selection Orchestration beat Primarily last time out and a pound pull in the weights means that they should be closely matched once again. Neil Callan gets the leg-up on Orchestration and with both in form they get the nod to go in today.
