    Verdict

    Another wide open affair in which many can be given chances on there best form. Free Option won well over course and distance last time out when defeating Kelpie and although he is penalised for that win he won in the style of an improver and he could be ahead of the handicapper. Gig Harbour rates the main danger he won with plenty in hand last time when defeating Compton Aviator and although he is rocketing up the weights he should go well. However he will find it harder to dominate as this is a much more competitive affair. Brilliant Red could also go well despite top weight as he is sure to have the race run to suit and the booking of Kieren Fallon catches the eye. Just Wiz won well when defeating Arpeggio last time out he should confirm the placings even on these revised terms. However his best form has come at Wolverhampton. Dream Magic was third behind Sharmy last time out and again he is sure to run his race but he looks to high in the weights to win. Jelba goes well at this course but is better over a shorter trip and is readily passed over. Of the remainder Siena Star could go well at a fair price with her stable in form and conditions in her favour.
