We finish the card with another difficult handicap and a narrow vote is given to Alwariah, Glenargo and Money Mate could be the the best alternatives. Clive Brittain's filly has been showing up well over longer trips and tries five furlongs for the first time today. She led well over a furlong out last time when eventually finshing third behind Macedon and if similar tactics are used, she may prove hard to catch. Glenargo hit winning form last time, beating Lady Algarhoud in a Wolverhampton seller. His previous handicap form on the turf was of a decent standard and another big run can be expected. Money Mate, unlike most of these, has managed a victory this season and is still on a decent handicap mark. Meanwhile Phinerine has also been droppin down the weights and is another each-way possible. However Alwariah should appreciate this drop in trip and may lead them a merry dance.
