Verdict

A wide open handicap here and many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Realism, Zeis, Fortune's Princess and the tentative vote goes to Realism. The selection was disappointing last time out having taken a keen hold but with the drop in trip sure to suit he is taken to get back to winning ways. Zeis rates the danger he has won his last two races in good style and although it was only a claimer he won he looked to have plenty in hand and he could still be on a lenient mark. Fortune's Princess is another worthy of respect she won a maiden in good style when defeating Mandatum and although this looks more competitive she is from a shrewd yard and is another to note in the market. Of the remainder Young Rooney may need the run after a 396 day absence while Summer Bounty looks in the handicappers grip so for the winner we return to Realism.
