        Verdict

        Wujood,Halla San and Hidden Star are three against the field in this open handicap and the vote is given to Wujood. The selection was a fair second behind Cusoon last time out, that form has since been franked and off the same mark here he is taken to score. Halla San rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Clipperdown but that was over a longer distance and the drop in trip looks against him. Hidden Star is another worthy of respect on his best form but he ran as if in the handicappers grip when well behind Del Mar Sunset last time and for that reason he is opposed. Barbirolli is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is another that looks weighted up to his best. Of the remainder Weet Yer Tern is from yard in form and could go well at a price but in a tough race to call for the winner we return to the in-form Wujood.
