Verdict

We end with an ultra competitive sprint handicap in which we go in search of some value by giving DVINSKY the nod ahead of Sherjawy while Valentino Swing is also considered at likely bigger odds. The chances of Jack Rackham and Elusive Ronnie have to be taken on board after their recent outings but the pick is looking dangerous at the weights and might be worth giving another chance at his new light looking mark. Sherjawy has a good strike rate here and was only narrowly beaten off this mark last time so should be putting in a bold effort. Valentino Swing was expected to do better on his last outing out but on the pick of his runs prior to that rare poor effort he looks capable of carrying this burden to some prize money. Dickie La Davour is another to consider after his run last time but in a race where you can give plenty a shout you might as well try for some value and we do with the consistent Dvinsky.
