Makai, Lord Mayor and Diedoe are three against the field in this poor seller and the vote is given to Makai. The selection has been running in much better races of late returns to sellers off a handy mark, and under conditions that suit he looks the value bet. Lord Mayor has the highest BHB rating but has shown very little of late, however he should be monitored in the market. Diedoe is game and consistent and is sure to run her race but she is hard to win with. Of the remainder Over Tipsy is from a yard in form and is another to note in the market but in a desperate affair, for the winner we return to Makai to minimum stakes.
