Mick Is Back, Zelos and Fractured Foxy are three against the field in this claimer and the vote is given to Mick Is Back. The selection was a fair fifth in a better race behind Lordship last time out. This represents a drop in class and he need only run up to that mark to score. Zelos rates the main danger on his latest third behind Inside Story but the drop in trip has to be a concern. Fractured Foxy is game and consistent and is sure to run her race but she is hard to win with. Of the remainder Cherri Fosfate looks vulnerable under top weight and for the winner we return to Mick Is Back.
