A wide-open handicap rounds off the card and many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Lucid Dreams, Cayman Breeze, Warlingham and Labelled With Love and the tentative vote is given to Cayman Breeze. The selection won with a little in hand when beating Kalani Star last time out and although he has a penalty for that win he has won off a higher mark in the past and from what looks a good draw he is taken to win again. Lucid Dreams rates the main danger as he quickened well when beating Listen To Reason last time. However, that was over a mile and although he has won over this trip in the past he may be vulnerable under his penalty and for that reason he is overlooked today. Warlingham is another that could go well on his best form but he was well behind the selection last time and even though he is better off at the weights here he still has a little to find. Labelled With Love is another worthy of respect on his best form but he just gave the impression the handicapper had caught up with him when disappointing last time out. Of the remainder, Pagan Storm looks to be on a handy mark and looks sure to have the race run to suit but in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to Cayman Breeze.
